Italian omelet frittata is a simple dish that can be prepared without a recipe, but simply with improvisation. An omelet can include a wide variety of toppings. This is a great way to use everything in the fridge: meat, cheese, vegetables. And the number of eggs is calculated based on the number of eaters and the size of the pan. The difference between French omelet and Italian frittata - in the first, the filling is wrapped in a ready-made omelet, in the second, it is laid during frying.
In this recipe, I offer a traditional Italian omelet in the most successful and light version - with tomatoes, cottage cheese and herbs. It is prepared quickly and easily, it turns out tasty and aromatic, and due to the cheese, an interesting texture is formed! But since this is an Italian dish, you can supplement it with zucchini, olives, bell peppers, olives, sausages, etc. The classic cooking method is to fry vegetables in a pan over low heat, after which everything is poured with an egg mixture and baked in the oven. You can serve the dish alone or with a vegetable salad, pasta or rice.

8. Pour the eggs over the tomatoes and send the pan to the oven heated to 180 degrees.
