Time 30m

Yield 2 or 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, sliced (optional)
Salt and black pepper
4 to 6 cups of any chopped or sliced raw or barely cooked vegetables
1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley leaves, or 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or mint leaves, or any other herb
2 or 3 eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Put olive oil in a skillet (preferably nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron) and turn heat to medium.

Add vegetables, raise heat and cook, stirring occasionally until they soften, from a couple of minutes for greens to 15 minutes for sliced potatoes. Adjust heat so vegetables brown a little without scorching. (With precooked vegetables, just add them to onions and stir before proceeding.)
  • When vegetables are nearly done, turn heat to low and add herb. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
  • Meanwhile, beat eggs with some salt and pepper, along with cheese if you are using it. Pour over vegetables, distributing them evenly.

MORE-VEGETABLE-THAN-EGG FRITTATA (MARK BITTMAN)



More-Vegetable-Than-Egg Frittata (Mark Bittman) image

This is a healthy frittata from Mark Bittman's New York Time's column) with more vegetables than eggs. You can use whatever veggies you like or have on hand. If you use asparagus or broccoli, parboil them first; spinach works well, chop and cook it until dry. As in a conventional frittata, cook the eggs slowly, so they stay tender. If the top remains runny, run it under the broiler. Serves 2 to 4.

MARK BITTMAN'S MORE-VEGETABLE-THAN-EGG FRITTATA RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Mark Bittman's More-Vegetable-Than-Egg Frittata Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by courtneyepowell

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, sliced
Salt and ground black pepper
6 cups of any chopped or sliced raw or cooked vegetables, drained of excess moisture if necessary
1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, or 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or mint leaves (optional)
3 eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and cook for 3 minutes, or until it's soft. Add the vegetables, raise the heat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften, anywhere from a couple of minutes for greens to 15 minutes for sliced potatoes. Adjust the heat so the vegetables brown a little without scorching. (If you're starting with precooked vegetables, add them to the onions and give a couple of good stirs before proceeding to the next step.) When the vegetables are nearly done, reduce the heat to low and add the basil, if using. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the pan is almost dry, up to another 5 minutes for wetter ingredients like tomatoes or mushrooms. Meanwhile, beat the eggs with salt and pepper to taste, along with the Parmesan. Pour over the vegetables, using a spoon if necessary to distribute them evenly. Cook undisturbed for 10 minutes, or until the eggs are barely set. (You can set them further by putting the pan in a 350°F oven for a few minutes or by running it under the broiler for a minute or two.) Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables to add flavor and texture to your frittata. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different herbs and spices. A little bit of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika can go a long way.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked vegetables or even frozen vegetables. Just be sure to thaw them before adding them to the frittata.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat so that it has time to cook through evenly. If you cook it over too high of heat, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Serve the frittata hot or cold. It's a great option for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Conclusion:

Vegetable frittatas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With so many different variations, there's sure to be a vegetable frittata recipe that everyone will love.
