Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/4 cups shredded smoked gouda cheese (about 4 1/2 ounces)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 ounces winter greens (such as kale, escarole and/or arugula), roughly chopped (about 8 cups)
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary Pinch of red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the eggs, milk, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until combined; stir in the cheese and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the greens, garlic, rosemary and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir once or twice to combine; cook, without stirring, until the edges start setting, about 1 minute. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the frittata is set and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the skillet, then invert or slide onto a cutting board. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SMOKED GOUDA



Smoked Gouda image

Like the store bought stuff? Well, this homemade smoked gouda will knock your socks off! The secret to smoking your own cheese is to use low heat, and an ice bath so that the cheese doesn't melt. You can also use pepper jack cheese if you want it a bit more spicy. This cheese, with sautéed onions, makes an awesome quesadilla. It is useful for any recipe calling for gouda or cheddar too.

Categories     Cheese

Time 25m

Yield 1 pound cheese

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 lb gouda cheese or 1 lb monterey jack pepper cheese
1 wood chips, apple, for smoking
ice cube, 2 trays

Steps:

  • Start 5 briquettes of charcoal on one side of a large barbecue and wait until they are white hot.
  • Meanwhile, soak one handful apple wood chips in water.
  • Fill an aluminum roasting pan with ice, and put on the other side of the grill.
  • Put a piece of tinfoil over the ice, and lay the cheese on top of that so the cheese is slightly below the level of ice, making a boat with the tinfoil so that water cannot come inside.
  • Drain the water from the wood chips.
  • Add half of the wood chips, and put the lid on. Smoke for ten minutes, and then flip the cheese over and smoke for another ten minutes, adding more wood chips if necessary. Remove, and refrigerate immediately.
  • Notes:.
  • Though I have found apple wood to be the best for cheese, you can use other wood, but it should be a light smoking wood such as pecan, or maybe maple. Mesquite, and Hickory are definitely not recommended as the smoke is too intense for cheese.

  • Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all that's needed to enhance the flavors of the greens and other ingredients. Overdressing will weigh down the salad and make it soggy.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Look for crisp, brightly colored greens and ripe, flavorful vegetables.
  • Add some crunch: Nuts, seeds, and croutons add a nice crunch to salads. They also provide healthy fats and fiber.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: There are endless possibilities when it comes to making salads. Try different combinations of greens, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds to find your favorite salad recipe.
