Time 43m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 whole eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Splash Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
16 stalks pencil asparagus, stems trimmed off
4 ounces Brie or taleggio cheese, larger parts of rind removed, cut into slices
4 ounces goat cheese, cut into rounds or crumbled into small pieces
2 cups arugula, stemmed, washed and dried
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 scallions, sliced into thin rounds (white and green parts)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, washed, dried and halved
1/2 lemon, juiced
Simple green salad, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the cream, salt, pepper, hot sauce and Worcestershire and whisk to blend.
  • Heat a 10 to 12-inch cast iron (or other heavy-bottomed) skillet and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke ever so slightly, add the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until some of the liquid starts to escape.
  • Stir in the scallions, arugula and cheeses into the egg mixture and pour into the skillet over the asparagus.
  • Place the skillet on the center rack of the oven and cook until firm around the edges but still somewhat loose in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to "rest" for a few minutes before serving. Toss the tomatoes with salt, pepper, the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice and sprinkle them on top of the frittata just before serving.

This frittata is meant to be thin, with just enough egg to bind the filling. Sunchokes are also known as Jerusalem artichokes. Roasting them brings out their nutty essence. Yukon Gold potatoes can be substituted.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces sunchokes, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
5 fresh or dried bay leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bunch Swiss chard (12 ounces), stems removed
5 large eggs
1 1/4 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese (3/4 cup)
3 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Toss together sunchokes, bay leaves, 3 tablespoons oil, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and dark golden-brown around edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard bay leaves. (Leave oven on.)
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add Swiss chard, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; let cool slightly. Squeeze out excess liquid.
  • Whisk eggs with 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the Parmesan, and scallions in a bowl. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add sunchokes and Swiss chard, and spread on bottom of skillet. Add egg mixture, filling in spaces between vegetables. Swirl to distribute (eggs will not cover vegetables completely). Cook, shaking skillet occasionally, until sides are set, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to oven, and bake until puffed and center is set, 4 to 5 minutes. Place a large platter over skillet, and invert. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of spring vegetables for a colorful and flavorful frittata.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the vegetables. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a combination of whole eggs and egg whites for a lighter frittata.
  • Add your favorite herbs and spices to the frittata batter for extra flavor.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat so that it cooks evenly throughout.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

A spring vegetable frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to use up fresh spring vegetables and is also a good source of protein and fiber. With so many different variations possible, there's sure to be a spring vegetable frittata recipe that everyone will enjoy.
