SPANISH FRITTATA WITH HERBY YOGURT AND GREENS



Spanish Frittata with Herby Yogurt and Greens image

The potatoes are what make this the love child of a Spanish tortilla and an Italian frittata. But you don't necessarily need them. Fill this frittata with 2 cups of whatever leftover cooked vegetables you have in your fridge and drop "Spanish" from the name. Serve with a crisp green salad.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup plain full-fat Greek yogurt
1/4 cup finely chopped herbs, such as dill, mint, basil, parsley, and/or chives
2 garlic cloves, very finely chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
8 large eggs
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 cups coarsely chopped (about 1/2" chunks) cooked potatoes
2 cups coarsely chopped raw or cooked greens, such as chard, kale, arugula, or spinach

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix yogurt, herbs, garlic, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
  • Lightly whisk eggs and remaining 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup yogurt sauce and stir just a couple of times (do not completely incorporate yogurt sauce).
  • Heat oil in a 10" cast-iron or oven-safe nonstick pan over medium. Add shallots and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots have softened and potatoes are golden, about 3 minutes. Add greens and cook, stirring occasionally, just until warmed through and wilted if greens were raw. Add egg mixture and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until sides are just beginning to set, 5-7 minutes.
  • Transfer pan to oven and bake frittata until puffed and set, 18-20 minutes. Immediately slide onto a cutting board to cool.
  • Cut frittata into 4 wedges and serve with remaining yogurt sauce alongside.

HERB-AND-OLIVE FRITTATA



Herb-and-Olive Frittata image

In this recipe, herbs are the focus, but to use herbs on a grand scale, it helps to know which ones work in that role and which ones don't. Parsley, obviously, works in abundance: it's clean-tasting, pleasantly grassy and almost never overwhelming. You can add literally a bunch (bunches!) of it to salad, soup, eggs, pasta, grains or beans. The same is largely true of basil, and you can use other mild herbs - chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, shiso - by at least the handful. (Mint is also useful but will easily take over a dish if you add too much of it.) I put most other herbs - epazote, lavender, marjoram and oregano, rosemary, sage, tarragon and thyme - in the category of strong herbs, which must be used more sparingly than mild herbs. You usually don't want to use more than a tablespoon or so of strong herbs in a dish. This frittata uses generous amounts of both parsley and basil and lesser amounts of dill, mint, rosemary or thyme.

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped black olives, preferably oil-cured
1 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 cup chopped fresh basil
1/2 cup chopped fresh dill
1/2 cup chopped fresh mint
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary or thyme
8 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup milk
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Salt
black pepper

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add the olives and herbs and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, milk, flour and some salt and pepper.
  • Turn heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, using a spoon if necessary to evenly distribute the herbs and olives. Cook, undisturbed, until the eggs are just set, 5 to 10 minutes. (You can set the top further by putting the pan in an oven at 350 for a few minutes or by running it under the broiler for a minute or two.) Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

PERSIAN HERB AND LEEK FRITTATA



Persian Herb and Leek Frittata image

Kuku sabzi tend to have less eggs than the typical fritter or omelet. Use whatever hearty greens and herbs you like. It's the ideal clean-out-the-fridge recipe.

5 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 medium leek, white and pale-green parts only, finely chopped
5 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

1 1/2 cups finely chopped dill
1 1/2 cups finely chopped parsley
1 tablespoon dried fenugreek leaves

HERBY GREENS AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA



Herby Greens and Goat Cheese Frittata image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 eggs
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
Pinch red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
2 cups finely chopped leafy greens (Swiss chard, collards, mustard or kale)
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the eggs, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet. Add the onions and tomatoes, and saute until the onions are soft and the tomatoes are starting to burst, about 5 minutes. Add the greens, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper; saute for another 2 minutes.
  • Turn down the heat to low and pour in the eggs. Using a rubber spatula, very gently move the eggs around a bit -- not scrambling them, just massaging them into the cracks and crevasses of the greens.
  • Once the eggs start to set on the bottom, dollop with the goat cheese and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the frittata is set on top, 5 minutes.

HERB FRITTATA



Herb Frittata image

This is one of the real classics of this region's cuisine (Friuli-Venezia Giulia).You will find it wherever you travel, especially in the springtime when wild herbs sprout in fragrant profusion all over La Terra Fortunata. The key here is to use as large a variety of herbs, grasses and greens as you can locate. It is traditional that there be at least five different types. Among the most famous are silene, hops, melissa, mint, verbena, basil, marjoram, sage, parsley, spinach (just a little), fennel leaves, Swiss chard, zucchini (courgette) flowers, wild fennel, beet greens, chervil, sorrel and celery leaves. This frittata is served piping hot, tepid or cool. As always, it should be covered if allowed to cool and cut into wedges before serving.

Provided by Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, or more if needed
2 tablespoons minced chives or onions
1 1/2 cups fresh herbs and greens, all carefully cleaned and dried, then torn into small pieces
12 large eggs
6 tablespoons whole or low-fat milk
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons grated aged or semi-aged montasio cheese
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Thoroughly butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch nonstick skillet. If 2 tablespoons are not sufficient, use more butter. Place the pan over low heat; when the butter becomes warm, add chives or onions. Heat gently, just until they give off a little fragrance. Add the herbs and greens and, if necessary, a little more butter. Stir so that all the flavors mingle.
  • While the greens are heating, beat the eggs, milk, flour, cheese and a little pepper into a large bowl. Add the egg mixture to the greens and stir with a fork, taking care to avoid scraping the fork along the bottom of the pan. While working with the fork in 1 hand, shake the pan continuously to prevent the frittata from sticking.
  • Once the frittata has a rather firm skin on the bottom, slide it out of the pan and onto a plate. Invert the frittata back into the pan so that the less-cooked side of the frittata is now face-down in the pan. Return to the heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan continuously to prevent sticking. The frittata is done when the bottom is firm and light chestnut-brown.
  • Slide the frittata onto a dish for serving. If you plan to cool the frittata, cover it with a clean cloth or paper towels. Cut into wedges before serving.
  • Variations:
  • To make a baked omelet, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Prepare the greens as above and transfer to a buttered 8-inch baking dish. Beat the eggs, milk, flour, cheese, and pepper in a large bowl and pour over the greens. Bake for 15 minutes, unmold onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve.
  • Although usually served plain, you can drape a paper-thin slice of prosciutto di San Daniele over the frittata before serving.

HERBS AND GREENS FRITTATA



Herbs and Greens Frittata image

Great when you've got greens and herbs overflowing the vegetable drawer. The herb flavors are just amazing. This Iranian recipe, called koukouye sabzi, is from the great cookbook called Flatbreads and Flavors. Cut into small pieces for an appetizer or big pieces for an entree.

Categories     Greens

Time 50m

Yield 4-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup chopped leek
1 cup shredded spinach or 1 cup other greens
1/2 cup shredded lettuce or 1/2 cup other greens
1/2 cup minced green onion
1/2 cup chopped flat leaf parsley
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill

1/2 cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons flour
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon baking soda (optional)
2 tablespoons plain yogurt (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
fresh coarse ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine the chopped vegetables and herbs in a large bowl. Beat the eggs in another bowl.
  • In a small bowl, combine the flour and water to form a paste and stir the paste into the egg mixture. Add the baking soda and yogurt (these make the frittata a little lighter and moister, but can be omitted). Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and mix well. Heat a 9- to 10-inch cast or oter other heavy, ovenproof skillet and add the oil. Remove from heat, pour in the egg mixture and pop into a 325 degree oven. Bake for 35 minutes until set. Serve warm or at room temperature.

FRITTATA WITH PEAS, HERBS AND FETA OR PARMESAN



Frittata With Peas, Herbs and Feta or Parmesan image

This frittata is just one good reason to stock peas in your freezer. My favorite herbs to use are tarragon and chives.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick

Time 30m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/3 cup fresh peas, steamed or cooked in salted boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes, or 1/3 cup thawed frozen peas
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, like chives, tarragon or parsley
1 tablespoon, tightly packed, freshly grated Parmesan, or 1 ounce feta, crumbled
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the peas, chopped herbs, and Parmesan or feta.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy, 8-inch nonstick omelet pan. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping in every last bit with a heat-proof rubber spatula. Swirl 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. Once a few layers of egg have cooked during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden.
  • If the frittata is still runny on the top, wearing oven mitts, slide the frittata out onto a plate or even better, a saucepan lid that has a handle, reverse the pan over the plate or lid, and holding the two together, flip the plate or lid so that the frittata goes back into the pan on its not-quite-cooked side. Finish for no longer than a minute, then reverse onto a platter. Allow to cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into 4 wedges to serve. The wedges pack well and are very portable.
