Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 large eggs
½ cup yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek (white and light green parts chopped)
½ pound thin asparagus (trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup (packed) baby spinach
salt and pepper (to taste)
4 ounces goat cheese (or feta/other cheese)
Optional garnish: fresh dill, and parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Heat the oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and saute for 3-4 minutes.
  • Then add the asparagus and saute another 1-2 minutes.
  • Then add the frozen peas, baby spinach, salt and pepper, and saute another 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Remove 1/3 of the vegetables to a plate (optional, but it makes for a prettier frittata), and make sure the remaining half of vegetables is evenly spread out.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the half of the vegetables in the pan. Cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the remaining vegetables on top, then dollop with the goat cheese. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
  • Garnish with additional herbs before serving.

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups 1/8-inch-thick sliced onions
1/4 cup 1-percent milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
10 large eggs
1 cup fresh, frozen or canned cooked peas

2 teaspoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and lightly golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Whisk the milk, salt and eggs together in medium bowl. Add the egg mixture to the skillet, then add the peas. Add the black pepper and cook the frittata until the edges begin to set and turn pale yellow, 5 to 7 minutes. Place the salmon pieces in a single layer on the eggs. Place the skillet in the middle of the oven and bake until the center is set and no longer jiggles, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Cut the frittata into six wedges and garnish with the chopped parsley.

FRITTATA WITH PEAS, HERBS AND FETA OR PARMESAN



Frittata With Peas, Herbs and Feta or Parmesan image

This frittata is just one good reason to stock peas in your freezer. My favorite herbs to use are tarragon and chives.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick

Time 30m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/3 cup fresh peas, steamed or cooked in salted boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes, or 1/3 cup thawed frozen peas
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, like chives, tarragon or parsley
1 tablespoon, tightly packed, freshly grated Parmesan, or 1 ounce feta, crumbled
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the peas, chopped herbs, and Parmesan or feta.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy, 8-inch nonstick omelet pan. 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 in every last bit with a heat-proof 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 during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden.
  • If the frittata is still runny on the top, wearing oven mitts, slide the frittata out onto a plate or even better, a saucepan lid that has a handle, reverse the pan over the plate or lid, and holding the two together, flip the plate or lid so that the frittata goes back into the pan on its not-quite-cooked side. Finish for no longer than a minute, then reverse onto a platter. Allow to cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into 4 wedges to serve. The wedges pack well and are very portable.

  • For a creamier frittata, use half-and-half or whole milk instead of skim milk.
  • Add some grated cheese to the egg mixture for extra flavor. Cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère are all good options.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat to prevent it from burning. If the heat is too high, the eggs will cook too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Don't overcook the frittata. The eggs should be set but still slightly soft in the center.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature.
