Nice holdover until that wonderful Thanksgiving dinner! **This recipe is measure for an 8-inch pan but can be adjusted to an 11-inch by doubling ingredients.

Time 32m

Yield 8 slices, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup bell pepper (diced, color variation, green or red, etc.)
1/2 cup onion (diced)
1/4 cup turkey (roughly chopped, quality cut of deli meat)
1 teaspoon salt (coarse)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 garlic clove (minced, may substitute 1 tsp. dry)
5 eggs (large)
1/4 cup milk
1 cup cheese (shredded, Velveeta, cheddar, cheddar blend)

Steps:

  • Heat half the olive oil to medium.
  • Stir in peppers and onions and seasoning (salt, pepper, garlic).
  • Sauté for about 12 minutes or until soft. (It is important to do this over medium heat. We are not looking for the onions to caramelize.)
  • While the vegetables are sautéing, in a separate bowl mix together eggs and milk, set aside. ( Now would also be a good time to turn on the broiler.).
  • Add the turkey to the vegetable mixture and heat through.
  • Turn heat up to medium-high and add remaining olive oil.
  • Now we will add the egg mixture and ½ of the cheese.
  • Cook on medium-high heat for about 2-3 minutes to set the bottom.
  • Place under broiler for about 4 minutes, or until top begins to brown.
  • Remove from broiler and top with remaining cheese.
  • Allow 2 minutes for the added cheese to melt.
  • Slice into 1/8 slices and enjoy warm.

Very colorful, beautiful and delicious treat for brunch or dinner. From Southern Living, earned their highest rating. This is not difficult but takes a little time because the vegetables are sautéed separately. I've also made this in a 13x9 pan, it's just not as pretty.

SPINACH AND RED PEPPER FRITTATA



Spinach and Red Pepper Frittata image

Spinach and red peppers bring vitamin A and vitamin C to this beautiful frittata. Spinach is also an excellent source of a long list of other nutrients, including vitamin K, manganese, folate and magnesium. And it's packed with protective phytonutrients, including the newly discovered glycoglycerolipids, which some researchers believe may help protect the digestive tract from inflammation.

Time 1h

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, or 1 bunch spinach, washed and stemmed
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut in small dice
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
10 fresh marjoram leaves, chopped
Salt
8 eggs
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Steam the spinach above an inch boiling water until just wilted, about two minutes; or wilt in a large frying pan with the water left on the leaves after washing. Remove from the heat, rinse with cold water and squeeze out excess water. Chop fine, and set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet. Add the bell peppers. Cook, stirring often, until tender, five to eight minutes. Add the garlic and salt to taste, stir for about half a minute, and stir in the chopped spinach and the marjoram. Stir together for a few seconds, then remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, milk, spinach and red peppers. Clean and dry the pan, and return to the burner, set on medium-high. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with a spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking.
  • Turn the heat to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan, and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that it doesn't burn. The bottom should turn a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
  • Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking, and allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

Tips:

  • Choose flavorful peppers: The type of peppers you use will greatly impact the taste of your frittata. Look for peppers that are fresh, colorful, and have a sweet or slightly spicy flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the frittata, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the eggs from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy frittata.
  • Cook over medium heat: Cooking the frittata over medium heat will help it cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
  • Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs in the frittata should be cooked until they are just set. Overcooking the eggs will make them tough and rubbery.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the frittata is cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include cheese, herbs, vegetables, and meat.

Conclusion:

A colorful pepper frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make brunch or lunch dish. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and nutritious meal that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this colorful pepper frittata a try. You won't be disappointed!
