VEGGIE FRITTATA

This nutritious recipe is a favourite of egg farmers Mark and Joanie Hamel of Watford. The vegetables can be varied to your preference.

Provided by Egg Farmers of Ontario

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Egg Farmers of Ontario

Time 10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 cup sliced mushrooms
½ cup chopped green and/or red peppers
⅓ cup chopped onion
12 eggs
¼ cup water

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a medium (10-inch/25 cm) frying pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, peppers and onion; saute until tender.
  • While vegetables are cooking, whisk together eggs and water. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in the frying pan. Cover and cook over medium heat, occasionally poking through the mixture to allow uncooked egg to flow to the bottom of the pan.
  • When bottom is cooked and top is almost set, finish cooking the frittata on the stove top by covering it with a lid for a few minutes, or flip it over in the pan to cook the top, or cook the top under the broiler.
  • To flip the frittata, place a dinner plate over the pan holding it firmly in place, then turn the frying pan and plate upside down. The frittata will fall into the plate, top side down. Slide the frittata back into the frying pan, top down. Cook for a few minutes until top (now the bottom) is cooked.
  • Alternately, place the frying pan under a preheated broiler until the top is cooked and slightly puffed, about a minute or two. The frying pan must be ovenproof in order to do this. To ovenproof the handle, wrap it with a double thickness of aluminum foil.
  • Cut into wedges 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.
