SPICY CORN FRITTATA WITH TOMATOES AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Set a rack on the top shelf of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet over high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the tomatoes and saute for 2 minutes. Add the corn, cilantro, scallions, garlic, and jalapeno and saute for 2 more minutes or until the garlic is fragrant and the mixture thickens. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and let cool for several minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a large bowl, season the eggs with salt and pepper. Beat them lightly with a fork, only enough to mix the whites and the yolks. Add the cooled vegetables and cold butter and stir to combine.
• Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and put it over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, swirling it all around and up the sides of the pan. Add the egg and vegetable mixture and stir gently with the back of a fork without touching the bottoms and sides of the pan. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bottom of the frittata begins to set. Remove the cover and transfer the pan to the top shelf of the oven and bake until golden brown and puffed, about 15 minutes.
• Slide the frittata onto a serving platter, cut it into wedges, and serve immediately or cool and serve at room temperature.

SWEET CORN FRITTATA WITH CHERRY TOMATO COMPOTE

Steps:

• Make the compote:
• Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, for about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes longer. Pour in the wine and cook until the wine is reduced by about half. Add the basil, salt, and pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and become fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside the tomatoes in a bowl.
• Make the frittata:
• Position an oven rack about 3 inches from the top and preheat the broiler.
• In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium, heat 1 tablespoon of the cooking fat. Add the diced white part of the scallions and the minced garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the potato and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the potato softens, about 10 minutes. Add the corn and continue to cook for about 2 minutes longer.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, red pepper flakes, and half the feta cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the veggie mixture in the skillet and top with the remainder of the cheese. Stir in the potato mixture and the scallion greens.
• Wipe out the skillet and, over medium-high, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking fat. Cook the frittata, lifting up the cooked egg around the edges with a rubber spatula to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, giving the pan a shake now and again, until the eggs are mostly set but the center is still slightly jiggly, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Transfer the frittata to the oven and broil until the top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes (keep a close eye on the frittata, as it can easily burn). Serve topped with the tomato compote.

CORN, TOMATO AND SOYRIZO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat broiler to high with rack at medium height. Beat eggs, salt and pepper until well blended.
• Spray an oven-safe skillet with oil and heat over medium-high. Brown the chorizo (in order to do this, you must remove the casing). Add the corn and tomatoes and simmer for about four minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add the egg mixture, ensuring it evenly coats the bottom of the pan and that vegetables are evenly distributed. Lift the edges of the frittata to ensure all egg gets heated. Cook until only the top of the mixture is liquidy.
• Place the pan under the broiler until surface is puffed and lightly browned, about 2-4 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with cheese and cover and let sit for about five minutes, or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle fresh cilantro over the top. Serve hot.
