FRITTATA WITH SPINACH, OLIVES AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE



Frittata with Spinach, Olives and Chicken Sausage image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 fully precooked chicken sausages, sliced into thin rounds (or removed from casing)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 cups baby spinach
1/3 cup pitted, roughly chopped Kalamata olives (or Turkish gemlik olives)
1/3 crumbled feta cheese (preferably French), plus more for garnish
Flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Olive oil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until frothy.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken sausage coins and brown them on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes, turning often. Transfer the sausage to a plate until ready to use.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft but not browned. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon room temperature water to the pan to stop the garlic browning, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then stir in the spinach and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted and the water in the pan evaporates, about 2 minutes. Spread this frittata filling evenly in the skillet and layer with the chicken sausage.
  • Pour the egg-milk mixture over the frittata filling and use a silicone spatula to scrape the sides of the pan and gently pull eggs from the edges toward the middle so that soft curds form and the frittata begins to firm up.
  • Give the pan a couple of good shakes to release the frittata from the pan bottom (the top of the frittata will still be raw). Sprinkle the olives and feta over the eggs. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the fritatta is mostly dry (the feta will release some liquid--this is fine--but just be sure the egg is completely cooked) and lightly browned on top, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Let rest 5 minutes, then slide the frittata onto a large plate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and pepper to taste. Top with more feta, parsley and olive oil. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

SPINACH CHICKEN FRITTATA

"When we were growing up, spinach was one of the only vegetables my brothers and I enjoyed," recalls Paula Tuduri, Bozeman, Montana. "So our mom found all kinds of ways to include it in meals. This dish is one of my favorites. Be creative," she suggests. "Feel free to vary the vegetables, cheeses and meat to suit your tastes and budget."

MUSHROOM AND SPINACH FRITTATA



Mushroom and Spinach Frittata image

Use bagged, presliced mushrooms and baby spinach for this and it will come together very quickly. The frittata is great for dinner, breakfast, brunch or lunch.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 10 ounce bag presliced mushrooms
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, rinsed
8 eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
2 tablespoons low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10 or 12-inch nonstick skillet and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring or tossing often, until they begin to sweat and soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper and the garlic, and stir together until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the spinach, a handful at a time and stir until wilted. Turn up the heat and let any excess liquid evaporate from the pan, then remove from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl (you can do this while the mushrooms are cooking). Stir in salt and pepper to taste, the milk, and the mushroom and spinach mixture. Add the Parmesan if desired.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the skillet until it feels hot when you hold your hand about 1 inch above it. 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 all of it in 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. Once a few layers of egg have cooked turn the heat down to low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet), and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden. The eggs should be just about set though there will be a layer on the top that is not.
  • Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the top sets, 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 5 minutes and for up to 15. It can be a little runny in the middle if you like it that way. Loosen the edges with a spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges. Serve hot, warm, room temperature, or cold.

Tips:

  • Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach has a more vibrant flavor and color than frozen spinach. If you're using frozen spinach, be sure to thaw it completely and squeeze out any excess water before adding it to the frittata.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs in a frittata should be cooked through but still slightly soft and moist. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing: This will help the frittata hold its shape when you cut it.

Conclusion:

Spinach chicken frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's packed with protein and vegetables, and it's also relatively easy to make. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect spinach chicken frittata every time.
