Frittatalorraine Recipes

QUICHE LORRAINE STYLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Start by cooking the whole new potatoes in boiling water for 15 minutes - until they are just done. Drain and then chop into thick slices.
• Meanwhile fry up the lardons in a non-stick frying pan over a high heat for 2 to 3 minutes until golden. Tip out onto a plate but don't wash up the pan yet!
• Next crack all the eggs into a jug, add half the cheese and some salt and pepper and mix together thoroughly with a fork.
• Put the frying pan back on the heat and add the sliced potato - cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden. Tip onto a plate.
• Now give the frying pan a quick wash and dry, then put it back over a medium heat and melt a small knob of butter. When the butter is foaming, turn the heat down and add the eggs. Set a timer for 5 minutes.
• While the egg is cooking in the pan, place the potato slices on top of the egg (some may sink - don't worry that's fine) and then scatter the lardons on top. Finally scatter over the remaining cheese.
• Next turn your grill up to high and when the timer goes, pop the frittata under the grill to brown - this should take about 3 minutes, but watch your frittata carefully, you don't want it to burn!
• Finally, serve your frittata scattered with parsley and with a side salad...or baked beans, if you prefer!

Steps:

• Preheat broiler to high.
• Whisk together eggs, 1 1/4 cups of the cheese, milk and salt until smooth. Set aside.
• Melt butter in olive oil in a large, oven-safe frying pan, over medium-high heat. When butter foams, add shallots and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until shallots soften, about 3 minutes. Add Canadian bacon and thyme, and cook another 3 minutes, stirring only once or twice, until bacon is browned.
• Pour eggs in pan and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until the eggs are set 1" from the edge of the pan, about 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over the surface of the eggs and place under broiler, until puffy, golden-brown and set in the middle, 4-5 minutes.
