Seafood Frittata Recipes

SEAFOOD FRITTATA

Steps:

• Brush oil over bottom and up side of 10-inch nonstick skillet; heat over medium-low heat. Cook asparagus and mushrooms in skillet 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is crisp-tender. Reduce heat to medium-low. Stir in crabmeat. Cook until heated through.
• Spread mixture evenly in skillet. Pour egg product evenly over mixture; do not stir. Cook 6 to 8 minutes or until egg is almost set. Sprinkle with cheese.
• Set oven control to broil. Cover skillet handle with foil. Broil frittata with top 4 to 6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and eggs are set. Cut in half; serve immediately.

LOW COUNTRY SHRIMP FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the celery, onion and green peppers and cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and transfer the vegetables to a plate and set aside. Wipe out the skillet.
• Whisk the milk, eggs, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the cooked vegetables, shrimp, parsley and seafood seasoning and stir to combine.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add the egg mixture and cook until the edges start to set, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake until the center is set, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before sliding carefully onto a serving plate and cutting into wedges.

SMOKED FISH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat two tablespoons of the oil in a heavy nonstick 10-inch skillet. Add the onions and cook very slowly, covered, until they are tender but not brown.
• Meanwhile, remove and discard the crusts from the bread. Toast the bread, then dice it to make croutons.
• Beat the eggs and egg whites together and stir in the fish and the dill. Season to taste with salt and pepper, bearing in mind that the fish will contribute to the saltiness of the dish.
• When onions are tender, add croutons, stir, then add mixture of onions and croutons to the eggs.
• Add the remaining oil to the skillet. Reheat the skillet, then pour in the egg mixture and cook over medium heat until the eggs have set and are lightly browned on the bottom but still creamy on top, five to seven minutes. Loosen the frittata with a spatula. Flip by placing a large plate on the pan, turning both plate and pan over together, then sliding the frittata back into the pan. Cook until the underside is golden, about three minutes more.
• Divide in quarters and serve.

LOADED BAKED FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Set aside.
• Put bacon in a 10- to 12-inch cast-iron or oven-safe nonstick skillet. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add onion, peppers and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the spinach a handful at a time, stirring after each addition, to wilt.
• Reduce heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the vegetables, then smooth the top. Drop small nuggets of goat cheese evenly on top. Transfer to the oven.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set, 20 to 25 minutes. When you shake the pan, the eggs shouldn't jiggle. Cool on a rack for about 10 minutes.
• Cut into wedges to serve warm or at room temperature.

CRAB FRITTATA

Steps:

• Mix the eggs, cream, lemon rind, tabasco, salt and pepper together. Set aside.
• Microwave onion and potato about 3 minutes (to speed up cooking).
• Heat oil in frying pan over medium heat and brown potato and onion and cook them through.
• Add the capsicum and cook a few minutes more.
• Pour over the egg mix and scatter the crab across the top.
• Cook gently for about 5 minutes or until almost set through, then place under a griller (broiler) to brown the top. Serve at once.

SHRIMP FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, add eggs and milk.
• Whisk mixture until light and frothy; set aside.
• Pour oil into a 10 inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
• Add the scallions and saute for 1 minute or just until they are soft.
• Add the shrimp, thyme, parsley, oregano, salt, and pepper to the skillet.
• Saute, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes or until the shrimp are pink and firm.
• Turn heat to low; pour in the egg mixture; make sure the shrimp and onions are evenly distributed.
• Cover the skillet and cook without disturbing for about 8 minutes or until the eggs are set.
• Cut the frittata in half and transfer to individual serving plate (I use a pancake flipper thingy).
