Best 9 Spanish Frittata Recipes

SPANISH-STYLE POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven in broiler mode and place a rack 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 centimeters) below the heating element.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 cup (25 grams) of the Parmesan cheese.
• Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, then toss with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 9 minutes total, or until fork tender.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and the butter over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch (25-centimeter) omelet pan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Pour the reserved egg mixture into the pan over the potatoes and onions. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata; repeat until the eggs start to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the stove to low and sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup (25 grams) of Parmesan over the top of the frittata.
• Once the frittata is mostly set, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the heat and let the tortilla rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with some sour cream, if desired.

SWEET POTATO AND KALE SPANISH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• Heat a 9-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the pan and warm. Add the sweet potato, onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the onions and potatoes are beginning to brown and the potatoes are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Add the kale and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the kale is wilted and tender, about 3 minutes.
• Season the eggs with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir in 1 cup of the mozzarella. Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture. Using a rubber spatula, gently stir the mixture, making sure all the potatoes are coated in the egg and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Cook on the stove for about 3 minutes to set the bottom. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella. Place the pan under the broiler and broil until golden brown and set, about 3 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Run a thin knife along the edges and cut into 16 squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SPANISH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the olive oil. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the potato and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt. Continue to cook and occasionally stir until the onion and potato are slightly browned, 5 to 6 more minutes.
• Add the eggs and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Swirl them around the pan and lower the heat. When the eggs are set on the side but the top is still loose, place the pan under the broiler for 2 minutes. The frittata will turn slightly golden and puff up before it settles. Cut into wedges to serve. Wrap a wedge in a piece of parchment paper to give someone a portable breakfast bite.

• Heat oil in a 10" cast-iron or oven-safe nonstick pan over medium. Add shallots and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots have softened and potatoes are golden, about 3 minutes. Add greens and cook, stirring occasionally, just until warmed through and wilted if greens were raw. Add egg mixture and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until sides are just beginning to set, 5-7 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven and bake frittata until puffed and set, 18-20 minutes. Immediately slide onto a cutting board to cool.
• Cut frittata into 4 wedges and serve with remaining yogurt sauce alongside.

MAKE-AHEAD SPANISH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss potatoes, shallots, paprika, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 1/2 tsp. salt on a 13x9" rimmed baking sheet or metal baking dish. Bake, tossing halfway through, until potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Let cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
• Whisk eggs, sour cream, mustard, and remaining 1 1/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Stir in potato mixture. Line the same sheet you used to roast the potatoes with parchment (don't worry about washing pan), leaving some overhang on two sides. Grease parchment generously with oil, then pour egg mixture into pan. Bake frittata until center is just set, surface is puffed, and edges are lightly golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes.
• Run a knife around the edges of frittata, then use parchment overhang to carefully lift it out of pan and transfer to a cutting board. Let cool to room temperature, then cut into desired shape.
