Vegetable Frittata With Pancetta Recipes

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.

ROASTED VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Place the zucchini, peppers, and onion on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and toss well. Bake for 15 minutes. Add the garlic, toss again, and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven to 350 degrees.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• In a 10-inch ovenproof saute pan, melt the butter and saute the scallions over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Add the roasted vegetables to the pan and toss with the scallions. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes over medium-low heat without stirring. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake the frittata for 20 to 30 minutes, until puffed and set in the middle. Sprinkle with the Gruyere and bake for another 3 minutes, until the cheese is just melted. Cut into 6 or 8 wedges and serve hot.

VEGETABLE FRITTATA WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, herbal seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper; whisk until well blended. Add 1/2 of the feta cheese, whisk and set aside.
• 2. In a small, oven-proof skillet over medium heat, spritz with cooking spray and add pancetta. Cook until it starts to crisp; then set aside onto paper toweling.
• 3. Add onion to skillet and sauté for a couple minutes until starting to soften. Add peppers and zucchini and cook for 3 - 5 minutes. Return pancetta then add garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Do not let garlic brown. Add potatoes and a few splashes of hot sauce, if desired. Stir everything together gently and cook until potatoes are heated through, about 2 minutes.
• 4. Lower heat and pour egg mixture into skillet. Stir everything together. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and sprinkle with additional paprika. (Check out NOTE below!!)
• 5. In a minute or two, when edges appear to become cooked, transfer skillet to oven. Bake until eggs fluff up and center is not completely set - about 8 minutes.
• 6. Broil for 1 - 2 minutes until cheese is melty. Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes to firm up If you did not add hot sauce, have it available for individual use.
• 7. NOTE: If you are making this in a non-oven safe container, it will need to cook longer! I used a glass casserole recently and it needed about 20 minutes.
