Time 1h20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small zucchini, 1-inch-diced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and 1 1/2-inch-diced
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and 1 1/2-inch-diced
1 red onion, 1 1/2-inch-diced
1/3 cup good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
12 extra-large eggs
1 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 cup chopped scallions, white and green parts (3 scallions)
1/2 cup grated Gruyere cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Place the zucchini, peppers, and onion on a sheet pan. Drizzle with the olive oil, sprinkle with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and toss well. Bake for 15 minutes. Add the garlic, toss again, and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and turn the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, Parmesan, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
  • In a 10-inch ovenproof saute pan, melt the butter and saute the scallions over medium-low heat for 1 minute. Add the roasted vegetables to the pan and toss with the scallions. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and cook for 2 minutes over medium-low heat without stirring. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake the frittata for 20 to 30 minutes, until puffed and set in the middle. Sprinkle with the Gruyere and bake for another 3 minutes, until the cheese is just melted. Cut into 6 or 8 wedges and serve hot.

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.

EASY STOVETOP FRITTATA WITH FRESH HERBS



Easy Stovetop Frittata with Fresh Herbs image

A simple but satisfying dish made with eggs, fresh herbs and ricotta

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Light lunch

Time 25m

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 medium onion, minced
2 medium green onions, thinly sliced
2 TBSP. extra virgin olive oil
6 large organic eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup ricotta, full fat (I like the Calabro brand)
¾ -1 cup fresh herbs, like parsley, dill, mint, basil, chopped
--- sea salt and freshly ground pepper
2 TBSP. butter

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet. Add the onion and green onions and cook them gently until they are soft and lightly browned. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs and then add the ricotta. Whisk again until well incorporated with the eggs. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper and add the fresh herbs and the reserved cooked onions.
  • Set the same pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter melts, pour the egg mixture into the pan. When the mixture starts to set, with the help of a spatula, ease it away from the sides of the pan. Let the frittata cook gently until it is almost set. At this point it should be still a little wet on top.
  • Turn off the heat. Place a large plate on top of the pan. Invert the frittata upside down onto the plate and slide it back into the pan. The heat of the pan will only need 30 seconds or so to finish cooking the top of the frittata.
  • Slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool down slightly, cut into wedges or smaller slices and serve.

MORE-VEGETABLE-THAN-EGG FRITTATA



More-Vegetable-Than-Egg Frittata image

This simple frittata - just eggs, vegetables, fresh herbs and a little Parmesan if you're feeling luxurious - is proof that eating well doesn't have to be deprivational. It can also be delicious.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     breakfast, dinner, quick, weeknight, main course

Time 30m

Yield 2 or 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 onion, sliced (optional)
Salt and black pepper
4 to 6 cups of any chopped or sliced raw or barely cooked vegetables
1/4 cup fresh basil or parsley leaves, or 1 teaspoon chopped fresh tarragon or mint leaves, or any other herb
2 or 3 eggs
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Put olive oil in a skillet (preferably nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron) and turn heat to medium. When fat is hot, add onion, if using, and cook, sprinkling with salt and pepper, until it is soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vegetables, raise heat and cook, stirring occasionally until they soften, from a couple of minutes for greens to 15 minutes for sliced potatoes. Adjust heat so vegetables brown a little without scorching. (With precooked vegetables, just add them to onions and stir before proceeding.)
  • When vegetables are nearly done, turn heat to low and add herb. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are tender.
  • Meanwhile, beat eggs with some salt and pepper, along with cheese if you are using it. Pour over vegetables, distributing them evenly. Cook, undisturbed, until eggs are barely set, 10 minutes or so; run pan under broiler for a minute or 2 if top does not set. Cut frittata into wedges and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
