FRITTATA WITH SPINACH, OLIVES AND CHICKEN SAUSAGE



Frittata with Spinach, Olives and Chicken Sausage image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 fully precooked chicken sausages, sliced into thin rounds (or removed from casing)
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
3 cups baby spinach
1/3 cup pitted, roughly chopped Kalamata olives (or Turkish gemlik olives)
1/3 crumbled feta cheese (preferably French), plus more for garnish
Flaky sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Olive oil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until frothy.
  • In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken sausage coins and brown them on all sides, 4 to 6 minutes, turning often. Transfer the sausage to a plate until ready to use.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil to the skillet and heat it over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the onion and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is soft but not browned. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add 1 tablespoon room temperature water to the pan to stop the garlic browning, and the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, then stir in the spinach and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the salt. Cook, stirring often, until the spinach is wilted and the water in the pan evaporates, about 2 minutes. Spread this frittata filling evenly in the skillet and layer with the chicken sausage.
  • Pour the egg-milk mixture over the frittata filling and use a silicone spatula to scrape the sides of the pan and gently pull eggs from the edges toward the middle so that soft curds form and the frittata begins to firm up.
  • Give the pan a couple of good shakes to release the frittata from the pan bottom (the top of the frittata will still be raw). Sprinkle the olives and feta over the eggs. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until the fritatta is mostly dry (the feta will release some liquid--this is fine--but just be sure the egg is completely cooked) and lightly browned on top, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Let rest 5 minutes, then slide the frittata onto a large plate and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and pepper to taste. Top with more feta, parsley and olive oil. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

SOUTHWESTERN FRITTATA



Southwestern Frittata image

This recipe is a modified version of the Southwestern Frittata served at the Joshua Grindle Inn. A wonderful B&B in Mendocino, Ca. I have modified it to more suit my family's tastes. Prepare the night before, and just pop into the oven in the morning for a special breakfast. We always have this as Christmas breakfast. It is in the oven baking while we open presents. You can use egg substitute, but if you do, add additional 1/2 to 1 cup grated cheese. Also, if you like spicy, increase green chilies to 14 oz, and use 1/2 teaspoon Cumin. You can also use corn tortillas instead of the whole wheat.

Yield Serves 2, can be doubled

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 large eggs
1 cup fresh corn kernels (from about 2 ears of corn) or frozen, thawed
1/2 cup (packed) grated Monterey Jack cheese with jalapeños
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
2 6-inch-diameter corn tortillas, cut into small wedges
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler. Whisk eggs in medium bowl to blend. Mix in corn, cheese and 2 tablespoons cilantro. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix in tortillas.
  • Heat oil in heavy medium broilerproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until just tender, about 5 minutes. Pour egg mixture into skillet and stir to blend. Cover skillet. Cook frittata over low heat until eggs are almost set, about 8 minutes. Uncover skillet; broil frittata until top is set and starting to brown, about 1 minute. Slide frittata onto plate. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro. Cut into wedges and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of your frittata. Opt for organic, free-range eggs, and use fresh vegetables and herbs whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery. Cook the frittata until the eggs are just set, but still a little runny in the center.
  • Be creative with your fillings: You can use almost any type of vegetable, cheese, or meat in a frittata. Experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature: Frittata is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but it can also be served at room temperature. If you're making it ahead of time, let it cool completely before storing it in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

The recipes in this article offer a delicious and versatile way to enjoy eggs. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, a light lunch, or a hearty dinner, a frittata is a great option.
