FRITTATA WITH GREENS



Frittata with Greens image

This is a typical Provençal or Italian frittata, something that is quickly thrown together, especially if you make a point of washing and blanching greens when you get them home from the market. It works best with the more tender greens like chard, beet greens, and spinach.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 30m

Yield one 10-inch frittata, serving 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pound Swiss chard (any color), beet greens, or spinach, stemmed and washed thoroughly
Salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
Freshly ground pepper
8 large or extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Heat a large pot of water over high heat while you stem and wash the greens in two changes of water. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, add a generous tablespoon of salt, and the greens. Blanch spinach for 30 seconds only, chard and beet greens for 1 minute, or until tender, and transfer to the ice water. Let sit for a few minutes, then drain, squeeze dry, and chop.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and stir in the greens. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, until coated with oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
  • Beat the eggs in a bowl, stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, freshly ground pepper to taste, the milk, and the cooked greens.
  • Clean and dry your pan and return to the stove. Heat over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. 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, scraping every last bit out of the bowl with a rubber spatula. 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 frittata 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 and serve.

4-CHEESE GARDEN VEGETABLE FRITTATA



4-Cheese Garden Vegetable Frittata image

Look no further for a stunning, edible centerpiece for your Easter or spring get-together. Picture a stack of two vegetable and cheese-packed frittatas with a layer of creamy, herbed goat cheese in the middle. Bright green asparagus spears decorate the perimeter of the frittata "cake" for a make-ahead showstopper.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 23

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 bunches jumbo asparagus (24 to 26 spears)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (1 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (2 ounces)
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh dill
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves, finely chopped
6 large eggs
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan (1 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (2 ounces)
1/2 cup baby spinach
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
6 large eggs
2 scallions, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 heirloom grape tomatoes, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Tightly wrap the bottom and sides of two 6-inch round springform pans with aluminum foil and transfer to a baking sheet.
  • For the cheese filling: Beat the cream cheese and goat cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, add the chives and parsley and mix until just combined. Cover and chill until firm and cold, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. (You want the cheese to be cold enough so it doesn't seep out the sides when the frittatas are stacked on top of each other).
  • For the asparagus frittata: Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
  • Trim and discard the woody stems from the asparagus. Cut 3 inches off the top of each asparagus spear (measuring from the tip) and set aside. Thinly slice the remaining parts of the stalks. Set aside 1/2 cup and reserve the remaining asparagus for another use.
  • Add the 3-inch asparagus pieces to the boiling water and cook until tender but still very bright green, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to immediately transfer them to the ice water to stop the cooking. Remove them to a cutting board and slice each stalk lengthwise down the middle. Reserve for decorating.
  • Whisk the heavy cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, dill, mint, eggs, scallions, reserved 1/2 cup asparagus, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Pour into one of the prepared springform pans. Reserve the bowl for the second frittata.
  • For the spinach frittata: Whisk the heavy cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, spinach, chives, parsley, eggs, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in the reserved bowl until well combined. Pour the mixture into the other prepared springform pan and scatter the tomatoes over top.
  • Bake both frittatas until they are set but still have a very slight jiggle in the center, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
  • To assemble: Release the latches of the springform pans, remove the plates from the bottom of each and place the asparagus frittata on a cake stand or serving platter. Spread 3/4 cup of the cold cheese mixture over top of the frittata. Top with the spinach frittata. Spread the rest of the cheese mixture around the perimeter of the frittatas as if you were frosting a cake. Press the asparagus pieces around the frittatas with the flat sides touching the cheese and the pointed tips facing up to look like grass. (The asparagus should be touching, side by side, so that no cheese is visible.). Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. Slice and serve cold.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of vegetables. This will give your frittata a colorful and flavorful appearance. Some good options include bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and zucchini.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the frittata will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the vegetables so that they can cook through.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bottom from burning. If the heat is too high, the frittata will cook too quickly and the inside will not be cooked through.
  • Cover the frittata while it is cooking. This will help to trap the heat and cook the frittata evenly. If you do not have a lid for your pan, you can use a piece of aluminum foil.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

A full garden frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover vegetables and it is also a healthy and satisfying meal. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect frittata every time.
