Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 large eggs
½ cup yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek (white and light green parts chopped)
½ pound thin asparagus (trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup (packed) baby spinach
salt and pepper (to taste)
4 ounces goat cheese (or feta/other cheese)
Optional garnish: fresh dill, and parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Heat the oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and saute for 3-4 minutes.
  • Then add the asparagus and saute another 1-2 minutes.
  • Then add the frozen peas, baby spinach, salt and pepper, and saute another 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Remove 1/3 of the vegetables to a plate (optional, but it makes for a prettier frittata), and make sure the remaining half of vegetables is evenly spread out.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the half of the vegetables in the pan. Cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the remaining vegetables on top, then dollop with the goat cheese. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
  • Garnish with additional herbs before serving.

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.

Categories     main-dish

Time 43m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 whole eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Splash Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
16 stalks pencil asparagus, stems trimmed off
4 ounces Brie or taleggio cheese, larger parts of rind removed, cut into slices
4 ounces goat cheese, cut into rounds or crumbled into small pieces
2 cups arugula, stemmed, washed and dried
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 scallions, sliced into thin rounds (white and green parts)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, washed, dried and halved
1/2 lemon, juiced
Simple green salad, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the cream, salt, pepper, hot sauce and Worcestershire and whisk to blend.
  • Heat a 10 to 12-inch cast iron (or other heavy-bottomed) skillet and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke ever so slightly, add the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until some of the liquid starts to escape.
  • Stir in the scallions, arugula and cheeses into the egg mixture and pour into the skillet over the asparagus.
  • Place the skillet on the center rack of the oven and cook until firm around the edges but still somewhat loose in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to "rest" for a few minutes before serving. Toss the tomatoes with salt, pepper, the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice and sprinkle them on top of the frittata just before serving.

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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.
