Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small zucchini, 1-inch-diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and 1 1/2-inch-diced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and 1 1/2-inch-diced
1 red onion, 1 1/2-inch-diced
1/3 cup good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
12 extra-large eggs
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (3 scallions)
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the zucchini, peppers, and onion on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and toss well. Bake for 15 minutes. Add the garlic, toss again, and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • In a 10-inch ovenproof saute pan, melt the butter and saute the scallions over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Add the roasted vegetables to the pan and toss with the scallions. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes over medium-low heat without stirring. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake the frittata for 20 to 30 minutes, until puffed and set in the middle. Sprinkle with the Gruyere and bake for another 3 minutes, until the cheese is just melted. Cut into 6 or 8 wedges and serve hot.

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.

VEGETABLE FRITTATA WITH QUINOA SPREAD



VEGETABLE FRITTATA WITH QUINOA SPREAD image

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Bake     Thanksgiving     Quick & Easy     Casserole/Gratin

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients
1 cup parsnips (peeled and diced into roughly 1/2-inch cubes)
1 cup cauliflower, broken into florets
1 cup zucchini, cut into roughly 1/2 -inch slices
1/2 cup red plum tomato (cored and diced)
1/2 cup quinoa
4 eggs
2 tsp Herbs de Provence
2 tsp Roquefort (or other blue cheese)
2 cups chicken stock or vegitable stock (no MSG, low sodium)

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375°F. Pour the chicken stock in a saucepan and add the parsnips. When parsnips are thoroughly cooked, remove them and reserve the stock. Add the cauliflower to the stock and cook thoroughly. Remove cauliflower and reserve the stock. Add the zucchini to the stock and cook thoroughly before removing. Heat the stock again and add the quinoa. Bring to a boil and cook about 5 minutes or until al dente. Remove the quinoa from the stock. Place all of the cooked vegetables, quinoa, diced tomato, herbs, and Roquefort in a large bowl. Mix until the cheese combines completely with the other ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with a fork until whites and yolks are mixed. Add the eggs to the vegetable mixture and stir gently. Rub 1 tsp of butter on the bottom of a 10-inch non-stick ovenproof pan (or coat with a non-stick spray). Heat the pan on the stovetop. When the butter is frothy, lower the temperature to medium-low and add the frittata mixture. Cook for a few minutes and finish in the oven until done to your taste. (I like them slightly runny for the velvety texture.) Flip onto a plate by holding the plate upside down on top of the pan and flipping pan and plate together. You can brush the top of the frittata with melted butter and serve with toast.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables: The more colorful your vegetables, the more nutritious and delicious your frittata will be. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
  • Cook the vegetables until they are tender-crisp: You don't want the vegetables to be mushy, but you also don't want them to be raw. Aim for a tender-crisp texture.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in a frittata, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
  • Don't overcook the frittata: The frittata is done cooking when the eggs are set and the cheese is melted. Overcooking the frittata will make it dry and rubbery.

Conclusion:

Vegetable frittatas with quinoa spread are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day. They are packed with protein, vegetables, and healthy fats, and they can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a hearty brunch, a vegetable frittata with quinoa spread is a great option.
