FRITTATA WITH POTATOES, PANCETTA AND GRUYERE



Frittata With Potatoes, Pancetta and Gruyere image

Inspired by a variety of recipes. Like most frittatas, this is refrigerator velcro, and I had a bunch of stuff I wanted to use up. Make sure your potatoes aren't too big; you want the volume of onion-and-potato to be about the same as the volume of egg.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup diced pancetta
1 onion, diced
2 small red potatoes, in 1/2-inch dice
1 garlic clove, minced
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons half-and-half
3/4 cup grated gruyere cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
salt
ground black pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
sour cream, for garnish
minced chives, for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oil in 12" non-stick skillet until shimmering. Add pancetta and cook over medium heat until browned on edges, 6-8 minutes. Remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Add onion and potato to fat in skillet and cook until tender, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Beat eggs and half-and-half. Stir in Gruyere, thyme, salt and pepper.
  • Return pancetta to skillet, along with eggs. Stir well. Occasionally pull eggs away from edge of pan and tilt to allow any liquid egg to run under.
  • When eggs are about half-set, sprinkle with Parmesan and place into a preheated 400F oven. Eggs are done when puffed and golden, about 10 minutes. Garnish with sour cream and chives.

Tips:

  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help the frittata cook evenly and prevent sticking.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. Make sure there is enough space between the potatoes and onions so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the potatoes and onions until they are tender. This will help ensure that the frittata is cooked through.
  • Use a cheese that melts well. Fontina is a good choice, but you can also use mozzarella, cheddar, or Gruyère.
  • Don't overcook the frittata. It should be cooked through, but still slightly runny in the center.

Conclusion:

Panfried potato and Fontina frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover potatoes and onions, and it is also a good source of protein and calcium. With its crispy potatoes, melted cheese, and fresh herbs, this frittata is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
