EASY VEGETABLE FRITTATA



Easy Vegetable Frittata image

The best frittata has a texture similar to custard. Whisking in a bit of full-fat dairy like cream, half-and-half or even whole milk is essential for the best texture. Also, play it safe when baking the frittata and check it a few minutes before it's supposed to be done. Perfectly cooked frittatas look barely set on top and tremble - like jello - after giving the pan a gentle shake.

Time 40m

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 large eggs
5 tablespoons heavy cream, half-and-half or whole milk
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheese, like Gruyere, cheddar or fontina
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium zucchini, sliced into thin coins
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 medium bell pepper, sliced
1 1/2 cups packed baby spinach
Chopped or torn fresh herbs like parsley, chives or dill

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with cream, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, pepper, and the cheese.
  • Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet (non-stick or a well-seasoned cast iron pan are best).
  • Add the zucchini, onions, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring every once and a while until the onions are soft and the zucchini and bell peppers have a little color; about 5 minutes.
  • Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt then add the spinach. Toss the spinach around the pan until it's ever so slightly wilted and bright green.
  • Turn the heat to low. Give the egg mixture another whisk then pour into the skillet. Shimmy the pan back and forth a bit to distribute the egg around the vegetables.
  • When the edges of the frittata begin to set and turn lighter in color, slide the skillet into the preheated oven; about 1 minute.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the eggs are barely set and the frittata trembles - like jello - when you give the pan a gentle shake. Keep an eye on it as it bakes and check the frittata a few minutes before it's supposed to be done. You are not looking for a brown top, just one that looks cooked and barely set.
  • Serve the frittata hot or cold with fresh herbs on top.

ROASTED VEGETABLE FRITTATA



Roasted Vegetable Frittata image

The great thing about frittatas is that I can make them with whatever I have available in my garden and in the pantry. This version uses spring produce to its advantage. Roasting really intensifies the natural sweetness of the asparagus and onion, and the earthiness of the potatoes. -Trisha Kruse, Eagle, Idaho

VEGETABLE FRITTATA



Vegetable Frittata image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large eggs, plus 3 egg whites
3/4 cup 2% reduced-fat cottage cheese
4 ounces smoked gouda cheese, shredded (about 1 cup)
1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped Kosher salt
1 16-ounce package frozen mixed vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots), thawed
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 scant teaspoon paprika
4 slices multigrain bread

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Whisk the whole eggs and whites in a bowl. Add the cottage cheese and whisk until almost smooth. Whisk in the gouda and rosemary.
  • Cook the garlic in the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until it starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the onion, season with salt and cook 2 minutes. Add the vegetables, increase the heat to high and cook until just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Spread the egg mixture evenly in the pan. Cook, undisturbed, until a thin crust forms on the bottom, about 2 minutes. Run a rubber spatula around the edge to release the egg from the pan. Continue cooking until the bottom is golden, 2 to 3 more minutes. Sprinkle with the parmesan and paprika; transfer to the oven and bake until just set, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oven, cover and let sit, 5 to 7 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with the bread.

Tips:

  • Choose Colorful Vegetables: Use a variety of colorful veggies to make your frittata visually appealing and packed with different nutrients.
  • Prep Vegetables Properly: Ensure vegetables are evenly chopped and sliced so they cook evenly.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Avoid overcrowding the pan with vegetables, as this can result in uneven cooking and a soggy frittata.
  • Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet is ideal for cooking frittatas, as it prevents sticking and makes flipping easier.
  • Cook Slowly: Cook the frittata over medium-low heat to ensure it cooks evenly throughout without burning.
  • Be Patient: Be patient while cooking the frittata; it may take 20-25 minutes for it to set completely.
  • Serve Warm or at Room Temperature: Frittata can be served warm or at room temperature, making it a versatile dish for various occasions.
  • Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Garnish the cooked frittata with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for an extra burst of flavor and color.

Conclusion:

Summer vegetable frittatas are a versatile and delectable dish that showcases the bounty of fresh summer produce. With a few simple tips and careful attention to cooking, you can create a delicious and visually appealing frittata that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Experiment with different vegetable combinations to find your favorite flavor combinations and enjoy this healthy and satisfying meal all summer long. Bon appétit!
