Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons salted butter
2 medium Yukon gold potatoes, very thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium red onion, cut into thin wedges
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 orange bell pepper, diced
1 jalapeno, finely diced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 large eggs
1/4 cup jarred chunky salsa
1/2 cup grated pepper jack
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 avocado, diced
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving
Sour cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the broiler.
  • In a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet or a very well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the potatoes, garlic, onions, red and orange bell peppers and jalapeno to the skillet. Add the cumin and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring gently, until the veggies begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Arrange the veggies so that the potato slices are flat and in an even layer.
  • Meanwhile, in a pitcher or bowl, whisk together the eggs, salsa and a pinch of salt. Stir in the grated pepper jack.
  • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, being careful to cover the veggies and get it around the edge of the skillet. Cook, undisturbed, until the eggs begin to set on the bottom, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the broiler, using the middle rack, and cook until very lightly browned on top, about 5 minutes.
  • Carefully slide the frittata onto a cutting board. Slice into 4 to 6 wedges. Garnish with the cherry tomatoes, avocado, cilantro and a dollop of sour cream.

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Olive oil, for drizzling
8 mushrooms, quartered
6 spears asparagus, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 dashes hot sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, halved and sliced thin
1 cold baked potato, diced
1/4 cup chopped green olives with pimentos
2 jarred roasted red peppers, sliced thin
8 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the mushrooms and asparagus on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast until a nice color is achieved, about 12 minutes. Set aside.
  • Beat together the eggs with some salt and pepper in a bowl. (Do not over-beat; just mix until the eggs mostly come together.) Stir in the Monterey Jack, Parmesan and hot sauce and set aside.
  • In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and golden brown, several minutes. Add the diced potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to cook for a couple of minutes. Finally, add the asparagus, mushrooms, olives and roasted red peppers and cook, stirring, until everything is hot.
  • Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed across the bottom of the skillet, then pour in the egg mixture so that it evenly coats everything. Let it sit on the burner for 30 to 45 seconds to set the edges, then put the skillet in the oven. Cook, watching it carefully, until the eggs are set but not very brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Slide the frittata out of the skillet and onto a cutting board. Sprinkle on the basil and slice into wedges with a long serrated knife.
