Provided by Lynne Webb

Categories     Breakfast & Brunch

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 large eggs
2 tablespoons half-and-half or cream
6 slices bacon (cut into 1/4-inch pieces)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup onion (chopped)
1 clove garlic (very finely chopped)
1/4 cup fresh tomato (seeded and diced)
1-1/2 tablespoons fresh parsley (finely chopped, divided)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup coarsely shredded cheese (see notes)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F. Whisk the eggs and half-and-half together in a mixing bowl until light and frothy. Set aside.
  • Cook the bacon in a medium (10-inch), oven-proof, nonstick skillet until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and drain all but 1 tablespoon of the fat from the pan.
  • Set the pan back on the stove over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the onion and sauté until soft and translucent, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and continue cooking until softened, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Add the tomatoes and 1 tablespoon of the parsley.
  • Add the salt and a few grinds of black pepper, combine well and continue cooking for 1 minute longer.
  • Stir in the eggs and using a rubber spatula, stir and scrape the bottom of the pan until the eggs form large, wet curds, about 2 minutes.
  • Scatter the bacon over the eggs, then smooth the mixture so it's evenly distributed in the pan. Stop stirring and wait about 30 seconds to allow the bottom to set.
  • Remove from the heat and sprinkle the cheese over the top of the frittata.
  • Bake until the frittata is slightly puffed and the cheese has melted, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining parsley and let stand for about 5 minutes.
  • Use a spatula to loosen the frittata around the edges and gently slide it onto a serving platter. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces bacon, diced
1/2 red onion, diced
2 cups frozen hash browns, thawed
1 3/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1 bunch Tuscan kale, chopped
10 large eggs, at room temperature
1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk, at room temperature
4 ounces sharp white Cheddar, grated (about 1 1/2 cups loosely packed)
4 ounces mozzarella, grated (about 1 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat the broiler to high and position a rack in the top third of the oven.
  • Put the bacon in a 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet and place over medium heat. Cook, stirring often with a rubber spatula, until the bacon is crispy and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon to a plate with a slotted spoon and remove all but 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat from the skillet. Add the red onion to the skillet along with the hash browns. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt and spread the mixture evenly over the bottom of the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the potatoes are beginning to brown and get crispy, about 3 minutes. Stir the potato mixture with a rubber spatula. Re-spread the mixture evenly on the bottom of the skillet and cook, undisturbed, to brown a bit more, another 2 minutes. Add the kale and another 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook until the kale is wilted, another 2 minutes. Stir in the reserved bacon.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Add the grated cheeses. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook, stirring occasionally with a rubber spatula, until the mixture looks like loose scrambled eggs, about 2 minutes. Cook, undisturbed, to set the bottom, about 1 minute longer. Place the skillet under the broiler until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set, 3 to 4 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.

SPINACH, BACON, AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA



Spinach, Bacon, and Goat Cheese Frittata image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon canola or sunflower oil
3 ounces pancetta or bacon, cut into small cubes
4 shallots, thinly sliced
3 cups young leaf spinach
8 eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan, Cheddar, or other hard cheese
A grating or two of nutmeg
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup crumbled soft goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or preheat the broiler to medium-high. Heat the oil in a 9-inch nonstick ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta or bacon and saute until golden, then remove with a slotted spoon; set aside. Add the shallots to the pan, lower the heat, and cook gently for about 10 minutes, until soft but not colored. Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, then remove from the heat.
  • Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl, then stir in the pancetta or bacon, spinach and shallots, grated cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Put the frying pan back over low heat, pour in the egg mixture, and cook gently, without stirring, letting the eggs set slowly from the bottom up. After about 5 minutes, give the pan a little shake: the bottom half of the frittata should be set, with a layer of wet egg still on top.
  • Dot the goat cheese over the top. If you're baking the frittata, place it in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until just set. Or put the frittata under the broiler, ideally not too close to the heat, for about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly (or completely) before slicing and serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Pan: Use an oven-safe skillet that is large enough to accommodate all of your ingredients comfortably.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Make sure there is enough space between the ingredients so that they can cook evenly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and cheese will give your frittata the best flavor.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your frittata well. Salt, pepper, and other spices will help to bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Cook the Frittata Slowly: Cooking the frittata slowly over low heat will help to ensure that it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Don't Overcook the Frittata: The frittata is done when the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking will make the frittata dry and tough.
  • Let the Frittata Cool Slightly Before Serving: This will help to prevent the frittata from falling apart when you cut it.
