EASY VEGETABLE FRITTATA



Easy Vegetable Frittata image

The best frittata has a texture similar to custard. Whisking in a bit of full-fat dairy like cream, half-and-half or even whole milk is essential for the best texture. Also, play it safe when baking the frittata and check it a few minutes before it's supposed to be done. Perfectly cooked frittatas look barely set on top and tremble - like jello - after giving the pan a gentle shake.

Categories     Breakfast

Time 40m

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 large eggs
5 tablespoons heavy cream, half-and-half or whole milk
3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheese, like Gruyere, cheddar or fontina
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 medium zucchini, sliced into thin coins
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1 medium bell pepper, sliced
1 1/2 cups packed baby spinach
Chopped or torn fresh herbs like parsley, chives or dill

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with cream, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, pepper, and the cheese.
  • Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet (non-stick or a well-seasoned cast iron pan are best).
  • Add the zucchini, onions, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring every once and a while until the onions are soft and the zucchini and bell peppers have a little color; about 5 minutes.
  • Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt then add the spinach. Toss the spinach around the pan until it's ever so slightly wilted and bright green.
  • Turn the heat to low. Give the egg mixture another whisk then pour into the skillet. Shimmy the pan back and forth a bit to distribute the egg around the vegetables.
  • When the edges of the frittata begin to set and turn lighter in color, slide the skillet into the preheated oven; about 1 minute.
  • Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the eggs are barely set and the frittata trembles - like jello - when you give the pan a gentle shake. Keep an eye on it as it bakes and check the frittata a few minutes before it's supposed to be done. You are not looking for a brown top, just one that looks cooked and barely set.
  • Serve the frittata hot or cold with fresh herbs on top.
