Spring Vegetable Goat Cheese Frittata Recipes

SPRING VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Heat the oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and saute for 3-4 minutes.
• Then add the asparagus and saute another 1-2 minutes.
• Then add the frozen peas, baby spinach, salt and pepper, and saute another 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Remove 1/3 of the vegetables to a plate (optional, but it makes for a prettier frittata), and make sure the remaining half of vegetables is evenly spread out.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the half of the vegetables in the pan. Cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the remaining vegetables on top, then dollop with the goat cheese. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
• Garnish with additional herbs before serving.

FRITTATA WITH SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the cream, salt, pepper, hot sauce and Worcestershire and whisk to blend.
• Heat a 10 to 12-inch cast iron (or other heavy-bottomed) skillet and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke ever so slightly, add the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until some of the liquid starts to escape.
• Stir in the scallions, arugula and cheeses into the egg mixture and pour into the skillet over the asparagus.
• Place the skillet on the center rack of the oven and cook until firm around the edges but still somewhat loose in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to "rest" for a few minutes before serving. Toss the tomatoes with salt, pepper, the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice and sprinkle them on top of the frittata just before serving.
