Frittata With Spinach Olives And Chicken Sausage Recipes

OLIVE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the extra-virgin olive oil in a small 6 to 8-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add onion to the hot oil and cook until soft and tender but not caramelized - keep the onion white. Add roasted peppers and olives and combine. Beat the eggs with half-and-half or milk and season them with salt and pepper. (Go easy on the salt because of the olives.) Pour the eggs into the skillet and keep settling them to the bottom of the pan as you would an omelet. When the eggs are firm on the bottom and set, transfer pan to the oven for about 10 minutes until top is golden brown. Cut and serve from the skillet or invert the frittata on to a serving plate.

SPINACH CHICKEN FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the red pepper and onion in oil until tender. In a large bowl, beat eggs and milk. Stir in the chicken if desired, 1/2 cup spinach, mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses, salt and pepper (save remaining spinach for another use). Add to the skillet. Cover and cook over medium heat until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 7-10 minutes. Cut into wedges.

CHICKEN SAUSAGE FRITTATA WITH SIDE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, mix the egg whites and whole eggs with a wire whisk until foamy. In a large nonstick pan over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, chicken sausage, sweet potatoes, peppers, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Saute the mixture for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the onion begins to brown. Transfer the sausage mixture from the pan and put in a large bowl.
• Wipe down the pan and spray the nonstick pan with cooking spray and add the eggs, cook over medium heat until the edges begin to harden. Pour the sausage mixture into the eggs. Sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
• Place the frittata into the oven and let cook for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until the frittata is firm in the middle. Remove the frittata from the oven and flip onto a large plate. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sprinkle with cilantro. Serve with the Side Salad.
• In a large bowl, loosen the leaves of the lettuce, sprinkle with the sliced onions and top with the tomato and avocado slices. In a mortar and pestle, add the garlic, salt, and pepper, to taste, and finely mince. Add the olive oil, lemon juice, and vinegar and stir with a small spoon. Dress the salad with the lemon vinaigrette before serving.

CHICKEN, SPINACH, AND MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large, nonstick, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and green onions; cook and stir until softened, about 1 minute. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add egg whites, eggs, and spinach to the mushroom mixture; stir with a fork until well combined.
• Heat remaining oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Pour in egg mixture and scatter cooked chicken over top. Cover the skillet and cook until eggs are set around the edges, about 4 minutes.
• Remove the cover and transfer the skillet to the oven. Broil until lightly browned and the center is set, about 4 minutes.
• Remove from the oven, top with mozzarella cheese, and cover; let stand until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Cut into 4 slices and serve.
