HERBY GREENS AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA
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.
FRITTATA WITH GREENS
This is a typical Provençal or Italian frittata, something that is quickly thrown together, especially if you make a point of washing and blanching greens when you get them home from the market. It works best with the more tender greens like chard, beet greens, and spinach.

Steps:
- Heat a large pot of water over high heat while you stem and wash the greens in two changes of water. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, add a generous tablespoon of salt, and the greens. Blanch spinach for 30 seconds only, chard and beet greens for 1 minute, or until tender, and transfer to the ice water. Let sit for a few minutes, then drain, squeeze dry, and chop.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and stir in the greens. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, until coated with oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl, stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, freshly ground pepper to taste, the milk, and the cooked greens.
- Clean and dry your pan and return to the stove. Heat over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. 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 every last bit out of the bowl with a 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. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan every once in a while, until the frittata is just about set. Meanwhile, light the broiler.
- If the frittata is not quite set on the top, place under the broiler, about 3 inches from the heat, for 1 minute, watching closely, until just beginning to color on the top. Do not allow the eggs to brown too much or they'll taste bitter.
- Remove from the heat, allow to sit in the pan for 5 minutes or longer, then carefully slide out onto a platter, or cut in wedges in the pan and serve.

BAKED FRITTATA WITH YOGURT, CHARD AND GREEN GARLIC
Inspired by the signature Provençal chard omelet called truccha, this beautiful baked frittata incorporates thick Greek yogurt and lots of green garlic. It will puff up in the oven, but then it settles back down. Use a generous bunch of chard for this - green, red or rainbow - and save the stalks to use in the chard stalk and chickpea purée that I'm also posting this week. I like to serve the frittata at room temperature, or I grab a cold slice for lunch. It's a wonderfully portable dish. The filling can be prepared through Step 4 up to 3 days ahead. The frittata keeps well for 2 or 3 days in the refrigerator.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Strip chard leaves from stems. Wash both leaves and stems thoroughly. Set aside stems for another purpose. You should have about 6 cups leaves, tightly packed.
- Add a generous amount of salt and the greens to the boiling water. Blanch greens for about 1 minute, until tender, and transfer to a bowl of cold water. Drain and take up chard by the handful to squeeze out excess water. Chop medium-fine. You should have about 1 1/2 cups chopped chard.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy skillet and add green garlic, thyme and rosemary. Add a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Add chopped chard and cook, stirring, until ingredients are combined and greens are nicely coated with oil. Remove from heat.
- Place remaining tablespoon of olive oil in a 2-quart gratin or baking dish, or in a 9-inch ovenproof skillet, and place in oven for 5 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk eggs in a large bowl. Season with salt (about 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper to taste. Whisk in yogurt. Stir in greens mixture.
- Remove baking dish from the oven, brush sides with hot oil, and scrape in the egg mixture. Place in oven and bake 30 minutes, or until set and slightly puffed. Remove from oven and allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm, room temperature or cold.

BAKED FRITTATA WITH GREEN PEPPERS AND YOGURT
This is an Iranian-style omelet. Iranian cooks often add saffron and yogurt to their omelets, which they bake or make on top of the stove. The beautiful bright yellow frittata will puff in the oven and then settle as it cools.

Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a large bowl and season with salt. Add the pepper, saffron water, flour and yogurt, and whisk together. Stir in the cooked peppers and the chives or scallions.
- Remove the hot baking dish from the oven, brush the sides with the hot oil and pour in the egg mixture, scraping every last bit into the pan with a spatula. Bake 30 to 35 minutes until puffed and lightly colored on the top. Remove from the heat, and allow to settle for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

SPANISH FRITTATA

Steps:
- Heat a 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the olive oil. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the potato and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt. Continue to cook and occasionally stir until the onion and potato are slightly browned, 5 to 6 more minutes.
- Add the eggs and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Swirl them around the pan and lower the heat. When the eggs are set on the side but the top is still loose, place the pan under the broiler for 2 minutes. The frittata will turn slightly golden and puff up before it settles. Cut into wedges to serve. Wrap a wedge in a piece of parchment paper to give someone a portable breakfast bite.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your frittata. Choose fresh, ripe vegetables and herbs, and use good quality eggs and cheese.
- Don't overcook the frittata. It should be cooked through, but still slightly runny in the center. This will give it a tender, creamy texture.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before serving. This will help it to hold its shape and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the frittata with a variety of toppings. This could include things like herby yogurt, greens, salsa, or hot sauce.
Conclusion:
This Spanish frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it can be easily customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give this frittata a try!
