MORE-VEGETABLE-THAN-EGG FRITTATA



More-Vegetable-Than-Egg Frittata image

This frittata is one in which the proportions of eggs and vegetables are reversed, and the veggies take center stage. Instead of six eggs and a cup or two of vegetables, I use two or three eggs with three or four cups of vegetables. Think of it as a big vegetable pancake bound with just enough creamy-cooked eggs to hold the thing together.

Time 30m

Yield 2 or 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, sliced (optional)
Salt and black pepper
4 to 6 cups of any chopped or sliced raw or barely cooked vegetables
1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley leaves, or 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or mint leaves, or any other herb
2 or 3 eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Put olive oil in a skillet (preferably nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron) and turn heat to medium. When fat is hot, add onion, if using, and cook, sprinkling with salt and pepper, until it is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vegetables, raise heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften, from a couple of minutes for greens to 15 minutes for sliced potatoes. Adjust heat so vegetables brown a little without scorching. (With precooked vegetables, just add them to onions and stir before proceeding.)
  • When vegetables are nearly done, turn heat to low and add herb. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
  • Meanwhile, beat eggs with some salt and pepper, along with cheese if you are using it. Pour over vegetables, distributing them evenly. Cook, undisturbed, until eggs are barely set, 10 minutes or so; run pan under broiler for a minute or two if top does not set. Cut into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

More-Vegetable-Than-Egg Frittata (Mark Bittman) image

This is a healthy frittata from Mark Bittman's New York Time's column) with more vegetables than eggs. You can use whatever veggies you like or have on hand. If you use asparagus or broccoli, parboil them first; spinach works well, chop and cook it until dry. As in a conventional frittata, cook the eggs slowly, so they stay tender. If the top remains runny, run it under the broiler. Serves 2 to 4.

VEGGIE FRITTATA



Veggie Frittata image

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.
