Brunchtime Spicy Chickpea Frittata Recipes

SPICED CHICKPEAS AND GREENS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Whisk eggs, herbs, sour cream, red pepper flakes, and 1 tsp. salt in a bowl until no streaks remain.
• Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a medium cast-iron or ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add chickpeas and curry powder and season with salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6-8 minutes. Transfer 1 cup chickpeas to a bowl; set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium, add onion, sliced garlic, and remaining 2 Tbsp. oil to chickpeas in skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and starting to brown, 7-9 minutes.
• Add a handful of greens and 2 Tbsp. water and cook until slightly wilted. Continue adding greens a handful at a time, letting them wilt slightly before adding more, until all greens are wilted, about 5 minutes total; season with salt. Let cool 3 minutes.
• Return pan to medium-low, pour in egg mixture, and cook, stirring eggs and swirling pan often, until edges are just set (texture should be like a very soft scramble), about 6 minutes. Transfer to oven and bake frittata until puffed slightly and center is barely set, 10-15 minutes. Let cool 5-10 minutes.
• Place mayonnaise in a small bowl and grate in remaining garlic clove; mix well. Season with salt.
• Serve frittata with garlic mayo and reserved chickpeas.

BRUNCHTIME SPICY CHICKPEA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Whisk together eggs and cheese until creamy. Fold in spinach and set aside.
• Heat oil over medium heat in an oven-proof skillet. Saute leek, carrot, and cayenne peppers until the leek is translucent, 4 to 5 minutes. Add chickpeas and tomatoes. Saute until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Add egg mixture to the skillet and cover.
• Cook the mixture undisturbed until the edges of the frittata have firmed and slightly browned, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Replace the cover but watch every so often until the whole frittata has firmed except the very middle. Take care to keep the heat source on medium-low to avoid burning bottom of frittata.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Place the frittata under the broiler to firm and brown the top, 1 to 3 minutes.
• Allow to cool before serving. Top with red pepper flakes if desired.
• Serve warm or at room temperature with an ice cold glass of milk!
