Mushroom Frittata With Endive Salad Recipes

CHEESY PEPPER AND MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until combined; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, without stirring, until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Stir, then continue cooking until the liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the bell peppers and a pinch each of salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until the peppers are softened and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir once or twice to combine; cook, without stirring, until the edges start setting, about 1 minute. Scatter the cheese curds and scallions on top, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the frittata is set and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the skillet, then invert or slide onto a cutting board. Serve warm or at room temperature.

ROASTED MUSHROOM AND WHITE ASPARAGUS OR ENDIVE SALAD

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 550 degrees fahrenheit (or the highest setting).
• Break the tough ends off the asparagus or trim the Belgian endive and slice it lengthwise into 8 wedges.
• Place the mushrooms in a gratin or other baking dish with the asparagus or endive, the onion, garlic, and thyme. Toss with the olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast the vegetables, turning a few times to ensure even browning, for about 20 minutes, or until tender when pierced with fork.
• Transfer the vegetables and their cooking juices to a salad bowl and add the vinegar and a little more salt and pepper if needed. Toss well, taste for seasoning, and add the greens. Toss well. Scatter the Parmigiano on top and serve at once.

POTATO-MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a saucepan. Add water to cover and salt. Bring to a boil and cook, simmering until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, peel and slice them 1/2 inch thick. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet. Add the potatoes and cook, stirring often but gently, until they are golden brown. Remove and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to the skillet, and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, over high heat, until they start to turn brown. Add the onions, red pepper strips, ham, garlic, pepper and salt to taste. Cook, stirring and shaking the pan, 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
• Meanwhile, break the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add salt and pepper to taste. Beat well with a fork.
• Wipe the skillet clean. Add the olive oil to the skillet and heat. Add the potatoes, the mushroom mixture, and the basil or parsley. Cook, stirring, over high heat for 2 minutes.
• Beat the egg mixture again, and pour it over the potato-mushroom mixture. Cook, stirring from the bottom, until the eggs start to set, about 2 minutes. Cover and cook over medium heat about 3 minutes or until done.
• Place a large round serving dish over the skillet, and quickly invert both the skillet and the dish, letting the frittata fall into the dish. It should be golden brown on top. Serve immediately.
