Fresh Vegetable Frittata Recipes

MORE-VEGETABLE-THAN-EGG FRITTATA

Steps:

• Put olive oil in a skillet (preferably nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron) and turn heat to medium. When fat is hot, add onion, if using, and cook, sprinkling with salt and pepper, until it is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vegetables, raise heat and cook, stirring occasionally until they soften, from a couple of minutes for greens to 15 minutes for sliced potatoes. Adjust heat so vegetables brown a little without scorching. (With precooked vegetables, just add them to onions and stir before proceeding.)
• When vegetables are nearly done, turn heat to low and add herb. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
• Meanwhile, beat eggs with some salt and pepper, along with cheese if you are using it. Pour over vegetables, distributing them evenly. Cook, undisturbed, until eggs are barely set, 10 minutes or so; run pan under broiler for a minute or 2 if top does not set. Cut frittata into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

CAST IRON FRITTATA

Steps:

• Prepare a campfire or charcoal for cooking.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until thoroughly blended. Set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10" skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and saute until soft and beginning to brown, 7-10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low by raising your campfire grate or moving the skillet to the cooler side of the grill. Add the tomatoes to the skillet, followed by the egg mixture, basil, and cheese. Cover with a lid. Scatter a few embers across the lid.
• Cook until the frittata has puffed up and the eggs are just set, about 15 minutes (check at 10 minutes to gauge progress, using heat proof gloves or a lid lifter to remove the lid).
• Serve with additional cheese and basil if desired and enjoy!

EASY STOVETOP FRITTATA WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet. Add the onion and green onions and cook them gently until they are soft and lightly browned. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs and then add the ricotta. Whisk again until well incorporated with the eggs. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper and add the fresh herbs and the reserved cooked onions.
• Set the same pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter melts, pour the egg mixture into the pan. When the mixture starts to set, with the help of a spatula, ease it away from the sides of the pan. Let the frittata cook gently until it is almost set. At this point it should be still a little wet on top.
• Turn off the heat. Place a large plate on top of the pan. Invert the frittata upside down onto the plate and slide it back into the pan. The heat of the pan will only need 30 seconds or so to finish cooking the top of the frittata.
• Slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool down slightly, cut into wedges or smaller slices and serve.

CHEESE & VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups (500 mL) salted water to boil in medium saucepan, Add vegetables and cover. Cook just until tender, then drain. Cut any larger vegetables.
• Whisk eggs, basil, salt and pepper in small bowl.
• Heat oil in 10-inch (25 cm) non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 4 minutes.
• Stir in cooked vegetables. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in skillet. As mixture sets around edge of skillet, with spatula, gently lift cooked portions to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cover and cook until bottom is set and top is almost set.
• Sprinkle cheese over top. Cover skillet with lid and cook for another minute to melt cheese.
• Cut frittata into wedges to serve.

EASY VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with cream, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, pepper, and the cheese.
• Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet (non-stick or a well-seasoned cast iron pan are best).
• Add the zucchini, onions, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring every once and a while until the onions are soft and the zucchini and bell peppers have a little color; about 5 minutes.
• Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt then add the spinach. Toss the spinach around the pan until it's ever so slightly wilted and bright green.
• Turn the heat to low. Give the egg mixture another whisk then pour into the skillet. Shimmy the pan back and forth a bit to distribute the egg around the vegetables.
• When the edges of the frittata begin to set and turn lighter in color, slide the skillet into the preheated oven; about 1 minute.
• Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the eggs are barely set and the frittata trembles - like jello - when you give the pan a gentle shake. Keep an eye on it as it bakes and check the frittata a few minutes before it's supposed to be done. You are not looking for a brown top, just one that looks cooked and barely set.
• Serve the frittata hot or cold with fresh herbs on top.

SPRING VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Heat the oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and saute for 3-4 minutes.
• Then add the asparagus and saute another 1-2 minutes.
• Then add the frozen peas, baby spinach, salt and pepper, and saute another 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Remove 1/3 of the vegetables to a plate (optional, but it makes for a prettier frittata), and make sure the remaining half of vegetables is evenly spread out.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the half of the vegetables in the pan. Cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the remaining vegetables on top, then dollop with the goat cheese. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
• Garnish with additional herbs before serving.
