SPRING VEGETABLE FRITTATA FOR MOTHER



Spring Vegetable Frittata for Mother image

It always feels a little wrong making a frittata with freshly cooked vegetables, since the whole point of the dish is to use up leftovers, but seeing as we're making this for a Mother's Day brunch special, we'll make an exception. Make sure all your vegetables are tender, hot, and well seasoned before adding your eggs, and not a lot can go wrong.

SPRING-VEGETABLE FRITTATA



Spring-Vegetable Frittata image

This frittata is meant to be thin, with just enough egg to bind the filling. Sunchokes are also known as Jerusalem artichokes. Roasting them brings out their nutty essence. Yukon Gold potatoes can be substituted.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 ounces sunchokes, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
5 fresh or dried bay leaves
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 garlic cloves, smashed
Fine sea salt and freshly ground pepper
1 bunch Swiss chard (12 ounces), stems removed
5 large eggs
1 1/4 ounces freshly grated Parmesan cheese (3/4 cup)
3 scallions, thinly sliced crosswise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Toss together sunchokes, bay leaves, 3 tablespoons oil, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and dark golden-brown around edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard bay leaves. (Leave oven on.)
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add Swiss chard, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; let cool slightly. Squeeze out excess liquid.
  • Whisk eggs with 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the Parmesan, and scallions in a bowl. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add sunchokes and Swiss chard, and spread on bottom of skillet. Add egg mixture, filling in spaces between vegetables. Swirl to distribute (eggs will not cover vegetables completely). Cook, shaking skillet occasionally, until sides are set, about 2 minutes.
  • Transfer to oven, and bake until puffed and center is set, 4 to 5 minutes. Place a large platter over skillet, and invert. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, seasonal vegetables. This will ensure that your frittata is packed with flavor and nutrients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you do, the frittata will not cook evenly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help it to cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't flip the frittata. Once it is set, simply place it in the oven to finish cooking.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing. This will help it to hold its shape.

Conclusion:

A spring vegetable frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with fresh vegetables and is a great way to use up any leftovers you have in your refrigerator. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
