Cheddar Crab Tomato Basil Frittata Recipes

TOMATO, SCALLION, AND CHEDDAR FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add scallions and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook about 5 minutes.
• Add eggs and cheese, season with salt and pepper, and stir to combine. Cook, undisturbed, until edges are set, about 2 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and bake until top of frittata is just set, 10 to 13 minutes.
• Invert or slide frittata onto a plate and cut into 6 wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CRAB AND ARTICHOKE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the broiler to high and place a rack in the center of the oven.
• Whisk together the eggs, mascarpone, basil, tarragon, chile paste, lemon zest and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Set aside.
• Heat a medium (10-inch) nonstick ovenproof saute pan over medium heat. Add the oil and heat another minute. Add the artichoke hearts and cook, stirring often, until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Add the spinach and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes longer. Add the crab and stir to combine. Add the egg mixture and allow to sit for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, stir the cooked egg mixture up from the bottom and sides, allowing the raw mixture to begin to cook. Continue to do this until the mixture is beginning to look like a soft scramble, about 4 minutes. Spread the mixture evenly on top and place under the broiler until the mixture is completely set and the top is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving warm.

SPINACH AND POTATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Place potatoes in the skillet, cover, and cook about 10 minutes, until tender but firm. Mix in spinach, green onions, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking 1 to 2 minutes, until spinach is wilted.
• In a medium bowl, beat together eggs and milk. Pour into the skillet over the vegetables. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook 5 to 7 minutes, or until eggs are firm.

SAUSAGE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Cook sausage in large nonstick skillet over medium heat 4-5 minutes or until hot. Stir in potatoes.
• Beat eggs, cheese, salt and pepper in large bowl with wire whisk. Pour over sausage mixture.
• Cook over medium-high heat 2 minutes, occasionally lifting edge with spatula and tilting skillet to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. (Do not stir.)
• Reduce heat to medium-low; cover. Cook 14-17 minutes or until eggs are set.
• Top with tomato and onions. Cut into 8 wedges to serve.

TOMATO AND BASIL FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a small nonstick skillet (I use 8-inch), over medium heat, sauté the onions until translucent.
• Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
• Add basil and cook 2 more minutes.
• Place in a bowl and let cool slightly.
• Clean out the pan and spray with nonstick spray.
• Beat the eggs the water and 3 tablespoons Parmesan until a little foamy and pour into the nonstick skillet.
• Pour the veggie mixture into the eggs and mix it up a bit.
• Cook over low heat, without stirring, about 10-15 minutes until the eggs are set- it will still be a bit runny on top.
• While eggs are cooking, heat up your broiler and after eggs have set, sprinkle remaining Parmesan over the top and broil until bubbly and lightly brown.
• Great for weekend brunch!
• This serves 2 hungry folk or 4 not so hungry folk.

CRABMEAT FRITTATA WITH TOMATOES AND HERBS

Steps:

• In a bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy and season with half the salt and pepper.
• In a nonstick 10-inch skillet, cook the garlic and shallots in the olive oil for 1 minute over moderate heat.
• Add the tomatoes, basil, and thyme, raise the heat, and continue cooking until most of the water from the tomatoes has evaporated.
• Stir in the crabmeat, season with the remaining salt and pepper, and cook 1 minute to heat through.
• Stir the eggs into the skillet.
• Over high heat, continue stirring with a wooden spoon while simultaneously shaking the pan back and forth over the flame.
• The eggs will begin to form small curds.
• Continue stirring and shaking until the eggs are set but still somewhat soft on top.
• Loosen the frittata from the skillet with a rubber spatula and slide it onto a large dinner plate.
• Cover the frittata with another dinner plate and invert the plates.
• Slide the frittata back into the skillet and continue cooking over high heat to brown the other side, about 2 minutes.
• The cooked frittata should be golden brown on both sides.
• Carefully transfer the frittata to a large dinner plate, cut into wedges, and serve hot or at room temperature.

CHEDDAR CRAB TOMATO BASIL FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. On the stovetop, melt the fat into the skillet. Remove from the heat, and line the bottom and sides with the potato slices, overlapping the slices to get complete coverage. Sprinkle half of the crab meat, cheese, tomato, and basil in layers, then repeat with the rest of these ingredients. Beat the eggs with the salt and pepper. Pour the eggs slowly over the top of the fillings. Bake until the middle is set, about 30 minutes. Serves 4.
