They are almost same thing with little difference.
1. Flash you can write each bite separately but if you want to erace
same bite you have to erace hole array like block.
2. EEPROM  is more flexible you can rewrite individual bite without
erasing hole array.
Function of Flash is similar to your camera flash that is why the name
is flash.
3. flash is cheaper then eeprom that is why MICROCHIP is moving to Flash
technology.
4. What I do not like about flash  programming them slower then OTP.
