Is crustless quiche just a frittata?
Many low carb quiches are made without a crust. Does removing the crust make the quiche a frittata?
Although they look similar the difference between a quiche and a frittata is the dairy content. A quiche will typically have more cream than a frittata.
A quiche is baked in the oven and a frittata starts on a stove, then is finished off in an oven.
Ingredients in spinach mushroom feta quiche

- Feta cheese - the creamy salty cheese makes a great savoury quiche.
- Cheddar cheese - use a good cheddar, not a rubbery tasteless one.
