Best 8 Fresh Herbs And Scallion Frittata Recipes

EASY STOVETOP FRITTATA WITH FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet. Add the onion and green onions and cook them gently until they are soft and lightly browned. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
• In a bowl, whisk the eggs and then add the ricotta. Whisk again until well incorporated with the eggs. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper and add the fresh herbs and the reserved cooked onions.
• Set the same pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter melts, pour the egg mixture into the pan. When the mixture starts to set, with the help of a spatula, ease it away from the sides of the pan. Let the frittata cook gently until it is almost set. At this point it should be still a little wet on top.
• Turn off the heat. Place a large plate on top of the pan. Invert the frittata upside down onto the plate and slide it back into the pan. The heat of the pan will only need 30 seconds or so to finish cooking the top of the frittata.
• Slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool down slightly, cut into wedges or smaller slices and serve.

GRAIN FRITTATA WITH CHILE, LIME AND FRESH HERBS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup water until bubbles form, then whisk in the fish sauce until combined. Using a rubber spatula, mix in the farro.
• In an 8- or 9-inch nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and chile, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour in the egg-grain mixture. Using the rubber spatula, stir the eggs to mix in the shallot and chile. Let sit undisturbed until the edges of the eggs start to bubble and cook, just a minute. Then run your spatula across the bottom of the pan to pull the eggs from the edges to the center. Create holes in the center of the frittata as well, tilting the pan as needed so wet egg runs into the empty space created by your spatula. Continue pulling and agitating the eggs until the surface is wet but mostly set when you tilt the pan, about 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of your pan.
• Smooth the top of the frittata, then cover with a lid or foil and let cook until the eggs are just set, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the herbs and scallions in a small bowl, then squeeze in enough lime to lightly moisten (about 1 tablespoon or 1/4 lime). Toss with your fingers to combine.
• Once the frittata is cooked, loosen the sides with your rubber spatula and slide onto a serving platter. Top with herbs and scallions and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.

FRESH HERBS AND SCALLION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes, and remove from the heat.
• Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the herbs, salt, pepper, mint, scallions and milk and beat together.
• Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl 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 omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan every once in a while, until the frittata is just about set. Meanwhile, light the broiler.
• If the frittata is not quite set on the top, place under the broiler, about 3 inches from the heat, for 1 minute, watching closely, until just beginning to color on the top. Do not allow the eggs to brown too much or they'll taste bitter. Remove from the heat, allow to sit in the pan for 5 minutes or longer, then carefully slide out onto a platter, or cut in wedges in the pan. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.

FRITTATA WITH SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Heat a medium-size saute pan over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once the butter foams, saute scallions until soft and season with salt and pepper. Let cool slightly.
• Add eggs, milk, and Parmesan cheese to a large bowl and whisk well to combine. Add the sauteed scallions and blend.
• Heat a 14-inch nonstick pan over medium heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter to melt. Once hot and foaming, add the egg mixture, do not stir, and turn heat to medium-low. Cover the pan and continue to cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until firm.

FRESH HERB FRITTATA

Steps:

• Thoroughly butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch/20-cm nonstick skillet. If 2 tablespoons/30 g are not sufficient, use more butter. Place the pan over low heat; when the butter becomes warm, add the chives or onions. Heat gently, just until they give off a little fragrance. Add the herbs and greens and, if necessary, a little more butter. Stir so that all the flavors mingle.
• While the greens are heating, beat the eggs, milk, flour, cheese, and a little pepper into a large bowl. Add the egg mixture to the greens and stir with a fork, taking care to avoid scraping the fork along the bottom of the pan. While working with the fork in one hand, shake the pan continuously to prevent the frittata from sticking.
• Once the frittata has a rather firm skin on the bottom, slide it out of the pan and onto a plate. Invert the frittata back into the pan so that the less-cooked side of the frittata is now face-down in the pan. Return to the heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan continuously to prevent sticking. The frittata is done when the bottom is firm and light chestnut-brown.
• Slide the frittata onto a dish for serving. If you plan to cool the frittata, cover it with a clean cloth or paper towels. Cut into wedges before serving.
• Variations: To make a baked omelet, preheat the oven to 300°F/150 °C. Prepare the greens as above and transfer to a buttered 8-inch/20-cm baking dish. Beat the eggs, milk, flour, cheese, and pepper in a large bowl and pour over the greens. Bake for 15 minutes, unmold onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve.
• Although usually served plain, you can drape a paper-thin slice of prosciutto di San Daniele over the frittata before serving.
• Wine: Many wines seem to go well with this preparation, including Collio Bianco, Tocai, Sauvignon Blanc, dry Verduzzo, and dry Prosecco
