Spring Vegetable Frittata for Mother image

It always feels a little wrong making a frittata with freshly cooked vegetables, since the whole point of the dish is to use up leftovers, but seeing as we're making this for a Mother's Day brunch special, we'll make an exception. Make sure all your vegetables are tender, hot, and well seasoned before adding your eggs, and not a lot can go wrong.

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 whole eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Splash Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
16 stalks pencil asparagus, stems trimmed off
4 ounces Brie or taleggio cheese, larger parts of rind removed, cut into slices
4 ounces goat cheese, cut into rounds or crumbled into small pieces
2 cups arugula, stemmed, washed and dried

SPRING-VEGETABLE FRITTATA



Spring-Vegetable Frittata image

This frittata is meant to be thin, with just enough egg to bind the filling. Sunchokes are also known as Jerusalem artichokes. Roasting them brings out their nutty essence. Yukon Gold potatoes can be substituted.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces sunchokes, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
5 fresh or dried bay leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bunch Swiss chard (12 ounces), stems removed
5 large eggs
1 1/4 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese (3/4 cup)
3 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Toss together sunchokes, bay leaves, 3 tablespoons oil, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and dark golden-brown around edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard bay leaves. (Leave oven on.)
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add Swiss chard, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; let cool slightly. Squeeze out excess liquid.
  • Whisk eggs with 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the Parmesan, and scallions in a bowl. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add sunchokes and Swiss chard, and spread on bottom of skillet. Add egg mixture, filling in spaces between vegetables. Swirl to distribute (eggs will not cover vegetables completely). Cook, shaking skillet occasionally, until sides are set, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to oven, and bake until puffed and center is set, 4 to 5 minutes. Place a large platter over skillet, and invert. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, seasonal vegetables: Spring is a great time to find a variety of fresh vegetables at your local farmers market or grocery store. Some good options for this frittata include asparagus, artichokes, peas, and zucchini.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet is ideal for cooking this frittata. It will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the eggs from sticking.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: Cooking the frittata over medium heat will help to prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing: Once the frittata is cooked, let it cool slightly before slicing. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

This frittata is a delicious and easy way to enjoy the fresh vegetables of spring. It's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this frittata a try.
