POTATO-BASIL FRITTATA
A frittata is great for a hearty breakfast or an easy winter lunch with a green salad, and the variations are endless. Frittatas are so much easier than making individual omelets because you can prepare the egg mixture a few hours ahead of time. Before guests arrive, all you have to do is saute the potatoes, then pour on the eggs and bake. A great lunch for everyone and no stress for the hostess!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch ovenproof omelet pan over medium-low heat. Add the potatoes and saute them for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through, turning often. Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in a small dish in the microwave.
- Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a very large bowl, then stir in the ricotta, Gruyere, milk, melted butter, salt, pepper and basil. Combine the flour and baking powder in a small bowl and stir into the egg mixture.
- Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and place the pan in the center of the oven. Bake the frittata for 50 to 60 minutes, until it is puffed and browned on top and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve hot or warm.

POTATO BASIL FRITTATA (BAREFOOT CONTESSA) INA GARTEN
Inspired by Anna Pump. Ina Garten made this the other afternoon and she had me drooling. When we made it, we made it w/out basil (personal preference) and subbed with parsley. It was wonderful! Update - 06/28/09: Have been meaning to add this for quite some time - since I am not a basil lover I have been experimenting because I felt it needed something too! I added 5 oz of cottage cheese and 12 oz of ricotta, & added crushed red pepper flakes, to taste and it made it very good indeed! I imagine when you use the fresh basil with its wonderful aroma & taste - you may not need to make this slight change. Also, tried using less yolks & increased the amount of whites but that was for a certain somebody & have only done it once! ;) I don't like taking a recipe apart but I still maintain that a lot of these changes we are forced to make - circumstances are different for everyone. I have also made this with Sharp Cheddar - delicious!

BASIL FRITTATA
This is being posted for ZWT 2006 (Italian region). Frittatas are simply omelettes and this is a wonderful example of one. I love fresh basil and grow it every year and this is a great showcase for it. You can also add a little bit of Mozzarella cheese to this one to get that yummy stringy cheese thing going.

POTATO AND VEGETABLE FRITTATA
This is an easy and filling supper dish, good with cooked greens or a tossed salad and some sprouted grain bread. Almost any vegetables can go into the mix; just make sure they're all cut up before you begin, and add the longest cooking ones first.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler on your oven.
- In a frying pan with an ovenproof handle heat the oil and saute onion, garlic and green bell pepper over a low heat. Saute until vegetables are just tender but not browned. Add the zucchini and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender. Add the potatoes, stir well to combine, and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the potatoes are heated through and starting to stick to the pan.
- Then add the tomatoes and black olives, stirring well to combine with the other ingredients, and cook just until the tomatoes have begun giving up their juice.
- Beat the eggs with the salt, pepper, oregano, and cayenne. When all the vegetables are cooked, pour the eggs over them
- Arrange the tomato slices over the top of the eggs, and sprinkle the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses over the tomato slices. Cook gently over low heat until the eggs are almost set (they'll be firm around the edges and a bit runny in the middle).
- Slip the pan under the broiler for a minute or two, until the eggs are fully set and the cheese has melted and begun to brown. Cut into wedges and serve.

Steps:
- Whisk the eggs, salt and pepper together in a mixing bowl. Gently mix in the tomatoes and torn basil leaves.
- Use the oil to coat the bottom of a heavy ovenproof skillet or omelet pan (about 11 inches) and place over high heat until the oil is very hot but not smoking. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook until the sides of the frittata begin to set and bubble slightly, about 2 minutes. Using a spatula, push the sides of the frittata toward the center of the pan and gently tilt the pan so that the uncooked egg runs down to the bottom of the skillet.
- Lower the heat to medium, cover and continue cooking for an additional 9 to 10 minutes, periodically pushing sides in again and allowing uncooked egg to run to the bottom. (If the top of the frittata is still very wet, place the skillet under a hot broiler for 3 to 4 minutes until set.)
- Loosen the frittata by gently shaking the pan (use a spatula if necessary) and slip it onto a large platter. Surround with greens and more torn basil leaves. Cut into wedges and serve immediately.

POTATO FRITTATA
In 1975, I took a trip to Spain to visit my nephew who was in the Air Force. While touring the small towns and villages, we could always buy a fresh slice of potato frittata. It was so tasty and filling, I just had to make my own version of it when I returned home!

Tips for Making the Best Potato Basil Frittata
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your frittata. Look for organic or locally-sourced eggs, and use fresh herbs and vegetables whenever possible.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the frittata, make sure to spread the potato mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan. If you overcrowd the pan, the frittata will be thick and dense, rather than light and fluffy.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat: Cooking the frittata over medium heat will help it to cook evenly without burning. If you cook the frittata over too high heat, the outside will be overcooked while the inside is still raw.
- Don't flip the frittata: Unlike other egg dishes, frittatas are not flipped during cooking. This is because the frittata is cooked through in the oven, so flipping it would only disturb the cooked eggs.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: Once the frittata is cooked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the frittata to set and make it easier to slice.
