Cowboy Frittata Recipes

OVEN BAKED WESTERN FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• In a medium sized skillet over medium high heat, fry the bacon until desired doneness in butter.
• Add the chopped vegetables and continue cooking until just softened.
• In the meantime, crack the eggs in a bowl, add half/half, salt and pepper to taste and whisk until combined.
• Pour mixture over the other ingredients in the skillet and cook until the bottom has just set.
• Place pan (with foil wrapped around the handle if not ovenproof) in the oven and bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the top is set.
• Watch closely!
• Cut into four wedges and serve hot.

TEX-MEX FRITTATA

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler.
• In a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet or a very well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, garlic, onions, red and orange bell peppers and jalapeno to the skillet. Add the cumin and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring gently, until the veggies begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Arrange the veggies so that the potato slices are flat and in an even layer.
• Meanwhile, in a pitcher or bowl, whisk together the eggs, salsa and a pinch of salt. Stir in the grated pepper jack.
• Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, being careful to cover the veggies and get it around the edge of the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the eggs begin to set on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the broiler, using the middle rack, and cook until very lightly browned on top, about 5 minutes.
• Carefully slide the frittata onto a cutting board. Slice into 4 to 6 wedges. Garnish with the cherry tomatoes, avocado, cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.

• Preheat broiler.
• Whisk together whole eggs and whites, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
• Cook bell pepper and onion in oil in an ovenproof 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden, about 8 minutes.

• Sprinkle top with remaining cheese and broil 4 to 6 inches from heat until set, puffed, and golden brown, about 3 minutes.
• Cool 5 minutes, then loosen edges with a spatula and slide onto a plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.
