THE FARMER'S FRITTATA (ITALIAN-STYLE OMELET)



The Farmer's Frittata (Italian-Style Omelet) image

Loaded with fresh vegetables and a touch of bacon, this farmer's frittata is my favorite type of frittata. It's a perfect way to use your gorgeous, fresh garden vegetables. Curing the squash with kosher salt pulls out the bitterness and makes the squash taste sweeter. It's got great texture, taste, and visual appeal and can be served hot, warm, at room temperature or cold for any meal of the day.

Categories     Omelets

Time 1h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 ½ cups cubed zucchini
2 ½ cups cubed yellow summer squash
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 slice thick-cut bacon, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips
8 large eggs
¼ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons sliced green onions, or to taste
⅓ cup diced red onion
1 cup diced sweet peppers
2 ounces grated sharp Cheddar cheese
4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • Combine zucchini and summer squash in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons kosher salt over top; toss until everything is evenly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
  • Thoroughly rinse squash with cold water to remove all salt; transfer to a colander and let drain for 15 minutes.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • While the bacon is cooking, mix eggs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, and green onions together with a fork in a large bowl.
  • Raise the heat on the bacon to medium-high; toss in peppers and red onion plus a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the peppers just start to soften and the onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add drained squash and carefully stir together; cook until squash is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Toss Cheddar cheese into the skillet and pour egg mixture over top. Stir with a spatula (like you were making scrambled eggs) until it starts to thicken up, 30 to 45 seconds. Shake the pan gently to settle the contents and turn off the heat. Push the edges down a bit with the spatula and sprinkle goat cheese over top. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Place under the preheated broiler until the surface is lightly browned and frittata is firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with more green onions and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a serving plate.

ULTIMATE ITALIAN FRITTATA RECIPE BY TASTY



Ultimate Italian Frittata Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: medium russet potatoes, large vidalia onion, medium red bell peppers, large portobello mushroom, extra virgin olive oil, salted butter, salt, pepper, fresh basil, large eggs, half & half, salt, pepper, adobo, fresh basil, parmesan cheese, fresh mozzarella cheese

Provided by Anthony Ashmore

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 medium russet potatoes
1 large vidalia onion
2 medium red bell peppers
1 large portobello mushroom
4 ½ tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 salted butter
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons pepper
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
6 large eggs
2 tablespoons half & half
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon adobo
1 tablespoon fresh basil
1 teaspoon parmesan cheese
¼ cup fresh mozzarella cheese, diced

Steps:

  • On a small baking sheet, cut your potatoes into thin vertical segments (half-moon shapes).
  • Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil over potatoes and season with 1 tbsp salt and 1 tbsp pepper.
  • Next, add 1 tbsp freshly-chopped basil into the mixture and toss together until each potato is coated in oil, seasoning and herbs.
  • Place into a 425°F oven for approximately 35-40 minutes.
  • Chop your red peppers into thin, long segments and slice your onion into thin, half-moon-shaped slices.
  • Remove the stem of your portobello mushroom - cut the mushroom into long, vertical, 1-inch slices- then cut those long slices into horizontal halves.
  • Remove your potatoes out of the oven and allow them to cool for approximately 10-15 minutes.
  • In a large frying pan, heat 2 ½ tbsp olive oil and a pat of salted butter.
  • While your potatoes cool, saute your onions, peppers and mushrooms, until cooked down and tender. Season with salt and pepper. Once your onions, peppers and mushrooms are cooked down, add your roasted potatoes into the pan, with another tsp of olive oil.
  • Saute all vegetables together until the potatoes from a light gold crust on each side. Reduce heat and keep vegetables on low heat.
  • In a large bowl, beat your eggs with a whisk and gradually add in your half-and-half, salt, pepper, adobo and parmesan cheese.
  • Once well-beaten, pour your eggs into the frying pan (that holds the sauteed vegetables) and allow them to cover the entire circumference of the frying pan.
  • Next, place medium diced pieces of mozzarella throughout the frying pan, letting them slightly sink into the egg mixture, followed by adding in sprinkles of chopped basil.
  • Cook on a medium-low flame for 12-15 minutes.
  • Once the bottom of the frittata appears to have solidified, place the pan into the oven and broil the top of the frittata on low for approximately 8-10 minutes, until the entire frittata becomes cohesive - and the top becomes golden brown.
  • Let cool slightly, slice and serve.
  • Enjoy!
