Spinach Ricotta And Vegetable Frittata Recipes

SPINACH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper until smooth. Fold in the cheese and tomatoes and set aside.
• In a 9-inch, oven-safe nonstick frying pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Pour the egg mixture over the spinach, and cook until almost set, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Transfer the pan to the oven and broil until golden brown on top, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn out onto a serving plate.

RICOTTA AND SPINACH FRITTATA WITH MINT

Steps:

• Steam the spinach above 1 inch of boiling water just until it wilts, about two minutes. Rinse with cold water, squeeze out excess moisture and chop fine.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, salt, pepper, ricotta, garlic, spinach and mint.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick 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 the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
• Turn the heat down 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 the bottom doesn't burn. It 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.

RICOTTA, TOMATO & SPINACH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the onion for 5-6 mins until softened and lightly golden. Add the tomatoes and toss for 1 min to soften.
• Remove from the heat, add the spinach leaves and basil, and toss together to wilt a little. Transfer all the ingredients to a greased 30cm x 20cm rectangular baking tin. Take small scoops of the ricotta and dot over the vegetables.
• Season the eggs and beat well, then pour over the vegetables and cheese. Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until pale golden and set. Serve with salad.

SPINACH RICOTTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Spray a non-stick 9 or 10 inch omelet pan with cooking spray.
• Place over medium high heat, add butter.
• When butter is melted add the prepared vegetables and basil.
• Cook stirring often just until spinach is wilted.
• Whisk together the eggs and ricotta cheese.
• Pour egg mixture over cooked vegetables, cook until almost set, lifting edges frequently to allow uncooked portions to run to bottom of pan.
• When almost set, reduce heat, cover and allow to cook covered for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Invert onto a large plate and slip back into pan to finish cooking, top with grated parmesan cheese.
• Cut in half and serve on warmed plates.

VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
• Whisk the eggs with the flour and baking soda in a mixing bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Add the ricotta cheese and whisk until smooth. Stir in the grated Monterrey jack cheese.
• Heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a 10-inch pan. Add the potatoes and cook them for about five minutes, or until they start to soften. Add the onion, peppers, salt, and pepper. Stir and cook the vegetables for another 5 minutes.
• Turn the heat off. Spread the vegetables into an even layer. Pour the eggs and cheese over the top of the vegetables. Use a spatula to spread the eggs evenly so all the veggies are covered, if needed. Bake the frittata at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Insert a toothpick to check for doneness, it should come out clean.
