ROASTED ASPARAGUS & PEPPERS WITH FETA



Roasted Asparagus & Peppers With Feta image

This is from the Kraft Canada website, but don't let that discourage you. It's very good and it doesn't use any of that "kid" food that I normally think of when I hear the name "Kraft". We just used normal, unflavored feta cheese, but I'll bet it would be even better with the feta specified in the recipe.

TOMATO, FETA, AND RED PEPPER CAZUELA



Tomato, Feta, and Red Pepper Cazuela image

In this easy tapas-inspired appetizer, creamy feta cheese is topped with a mix of red peppers, lemon zest, olives, and the juiciest tomatoes you can find. Let everything meld together, then warm it up in the oven and serve with toasted pita, naan, or lavash to sop it all up.

Provided by Sarah Copeland

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 red bell peppers
1 pound feta
2 plum tomatoes, cored and chopped into 1-inch pieces
4 peeled strips lemon or orange zest
1/4 cup small black olives (12 to 16), preferably Niçoise
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Pitas or flatbreads, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F. Place peppers directly over a gas flame (or char under the broiler), turning occasionally, until blackened and blistering, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, cover with a plate, and let stand until cool. Scrape skins off with a paring knife or paper towel. Remove and discard stems, ribs, and seeds. Cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Divide feta between 4 small baking dishes or cazuelas (or use one 10-inch ovenproof skillet); top with tomatoes, roasted peppers, zest, and olives. Season with pepper and drizzle with oil.
  • Cover each dish with parchment-lined foil and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. (Or, if using a skillet, place directly on oven rack.) Bake until warmed through, 10 to 15 minutes; uncover and continue baking until cheese is lightly browned, 10 to 15 minutes more. Lightly char pitas over flame (or under broiler) and serve on the side.

Tips:

  • For a lighter frittata, use low-fat milk or almond milk instead of whole milk.
  • Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs before cooking for extra flavor.
  • If you don't have a 10-inch skillet, you can use a 9-inch skillet and cook the frittata for a few minutes longer.
  • Be careful not to overcook the frittata, as it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This California Asparagus Frittata with Red Bell Pepper and Feta is a delicious and easy-to-make brunch or lunch dish. It's packed with fresh vegetables and flavorful cheese, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and healthy meal, give this frittata a try!
