Roasted Red Pepper Frittata Recipes

SPINACH AND RED PEPPER FRITTATA

Steps:

• Steam the spinach above an inch boiling water until just wilted, about two minutes; or wilt in a large frying pan with the water left on the leaves after washing. Remove from the heat, rinse with cold water and squeeze out excess water. Chop fine, and set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet. Add the bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, until tender, five to eight minutes. Add the garlic and salt to taste, stir for about half a minute, and stir in the chopped spinach and the marjoram. Stir together for a few seconds, then remove from the heat and set aside.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, milk, spinach and red peppers. Clean and dry the pan, and return to the burner, set on medium-high. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with a spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• Turn the heat to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan, and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that it doesn't burn. The bottom should turn a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

ROASTED RED PEPPER FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Broil bell peppers on a broiler pan 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cooled slightly, 10 minutes. Peel peppers, discarding stems, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips.
• Whisk together eggs, milk, cheese, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, then stir in tomatoes and basil.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Pour in egg mixture and cook, lifting up cooked egg around edge occasionally to let raw egg flow underneath, 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until underside is golden, about 5 minutes more. Slide onto a plate, then arrange bell peppers over top in a wheel-spoke pattern.
• Invert skillet over plate and (wearing oven mitts) flip frittata over into skillet. Drizzle remaining oil around edge of frittata and shake to help distribute underneath. Cook, covered, over moderately low heat until underside is golden and frittata is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Invert a large clean plate over skillet and (wearing oven mitts) flip frittata onto plate. Sprinkle with parsley and cut into 6 wedges.

GOAT CHEESE AND RED PEPPER FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in large oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots, red pepper, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the shallots and peppers are soft, 7 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and cool; don't wash the skillet.
• Beat the eggs, heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the shallot mixture. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil in the nonstick skillet over medium heat. Pour in the egg mixture and spread the vegetables evenly throughout the pan. As the eggs set, lift the edges to allow the liquid egg mixture to run underneath. Cook until the eggs are mostly set but the center is still a little runny, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Sprinkle the Parmesan and goat cheese over the top and broil until the top is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Carefully remove the skillet from broiler and loosen the edges of frittata. Cool for 10 minutes in the skillet, then serve slices from the pan or slide onto a serving platter, slice and serve.

RICOTTA AND ROASTED RED PEPPER FRITTATA

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425°F
• In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of the pecorino, parsley, 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, oregano, and eggs and season with black pepper & red pepper flakes (if using); set egg mixture aside.
• Heat the oil in a 10" nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat; add the remaining salt, onions, and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and soft, about 20 minutes.
• Remove skillet from heat.
• Add the egg mixture to the skillet and stir to distribute the onions & scallions and potatoes evenly.
• Scatter the peppers over the top, spoon the ricotta over the mixture in 6 dollops, and sprinkle with the remaining pecorino.
• Bake until lightly browned and the center is set, about 15 minutes.
• Run a rubber spatula around the edges of the frittata to loosen it.
• Slide the frittata onto a serving plate; season with more black pepper, if you like.
• Enjoy!

ROASTED RED PEPPER AND FRESH HERB FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Pour the oil into a 10-inch nonstick skillet and place over medium high heat for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, add the salt, pepper, parsley, chives, basil and oregano to the eggs and beat well. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet, reduce the heat to medium and cook about 3 minutes, occasionally pulling the egg away from the sides of the pan. Add the red peppers and goat cheese, remove the skillet from the heat and slide it into top half of the oven. Cook until the center of the frittata is set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes. Slide the spatula around the edges of the pan, working underneath the frittata a bit. Shake the pan to loosen the bottom and gently slide onto a serving platter. Slice into 12 wedges, garnish with basil leaves and serve.
