ROASTED RED PEPPER AND FRESH HERB FRITTATA
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Pour the oil into a 10-inch nonstick skillet and place over medium high heat for 2 minutes. Meanwhile, add the salt, pepper, parsley, chives, basil and oregano to the eggs and beat well. Pour the egg mixture into the hot skillet, reduce the heat to medium and cook about 3 minutes, occasionally pulling the egg away from the sides of the pan. Add the red peppers and goat cheese, remove the skillet from the heat and slide it into top half of the oven. Cook until the center of the frittata is set, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes. Slide the spatula around the edges of the pan, working underneath the frittata a bit. Shake the pan to loosen the bottom and gently slide onto a serving platter. Slice into 12 wedges, garnish with basil leaves and serve.

SPINACH AND RED PEPPER FRITTATA
Spinach and red peppers bring vitamin A and vitamin C to this beautiful frittata. Spinach is also an excellent source of a long list of other nutrients, including vitamin K, manganese, folate and magnesium. And it's packed with protective phytonutrients, including the newly discovered glycoglycerolipids, which some researchers believe may help protect the digestive tract from inflammation.

Steps:
- Steam the spinach above an inch boiling water until just wilted, about two minutes; or wilt in a large frying pan with the water left on the leaves after washing. Remove from the heat, rinse with cold water and squeeze out excess water. Chop fine, and set aside.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet. Add the bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, until tender, five to eight minutes. Add the garlic and salt to taste, stir for about half a minute, and stir in the chopped spinach and the marjoram. Stir together for a few seconds, then remove from the heat and set aside.
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, milk, spinach and red peppers. Clean and dry the pan, and return to the burner, set on medium-high. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt 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 a spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
- Turn the heat to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan, and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that it doesn't burn. The bottom should turn a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
- Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Broil bell peppers on a broiler pan 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, until skins are blackened, about 15 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let stand, covered, until cooled slightly, 10 minutes. Peel peppers, discarding stems, then cut lengthwise into 1/4-inch strips.
- Whisk together eggs, milk, cheese, garlic, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl, then stir in tomatoes and basil.
- Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Pour in egg mixture and cook, lifting up cooked egg around edge occasionally to let raw egg flow underneath, 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and cook, covered, until underside is golden, about 5 minutes more. Slide onto a plate, then arrange bell peppers over top in a wheel-spoke pattern.
- Invert skillet over plate and (wearing oven mitts) flip frittata over into skillet. Drizzle remaining oil around edge of frittata and shake to help distribute underneath. Cook, covered, over moderately low heat until underside is golden and frittata is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Invert a large clean plate over skillet and (wearing oven mitts) flip frittata onto plate. Sprinkle with parsley and cut into 6 wedges.
Tips:
- Prep your veggies: Before you start cooking, dice the red peppers, green onions, and herbs. This will save you time and ensure that your frittata cooks evenly.
- Use a non-stick skillet: A non-stick skillet will prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat: Medium heat will help the frittata cook evenly without burning.
- Don't overcook the frittata: The frittata is done when the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. Overcooking will make the frittata dry and tough.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: This will help the frittata hold its shape when you slice it.
Conclusion:
This roasted red pepper and fresh herb frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this frittata a try!
