Flavorful Frittata Recipes

HOW TO MAKE FRITTATAS (STOVETOP OR BAKED)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit for the traditional stovetop method, or 350 degrees for the baked methods (casserole or mini/muffins).
• Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add your dairy of choice and the salt. Whisk just until the egg yolks and whites are blended. Whisk in all or half of the cheese (you can reserve the other half for topping the frittata before baking, if desired). Set the mixture aside.
• In a 12-inch cast iron skillet (or any other large skillet that's oven safe), warm the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the vegetables, starting with chopped onions or other dense vegetables. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, then add any softer vegetables such as zucchini. Cook until those vegetables are tender, then add any garlic or greens, and cook until fragrant or wilted. Season with salt, to taste.
• Whisk the eggs once more and pour the mixture over the vegetables. Stir with a spatula briefly to combine and distribute the mixture evenly across the pan. If you reserved any cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittata now.
• Once the outside edge of the frittata turns lighter in color (about 30 seconds to 1 minute), carefully transfer the frittata to the oven. Bake for 7 to 14 minutes (keep an eye on it), until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittata jiggles just a bit when you give it a gentle shimmy. Remove the frittata from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool. Garnish with herbs, slice with a sharp knife, and serve.
• Let the cooked vegetables cool for a few minutes. In the meantime, grease a 9 by 13-inch pan with butter, which works better than cooking spray. Stir the lightly cooled veggies into the egg mixture, then pour it all into the pan. If you reserved any cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittata now.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (keep an eye on it), until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittata jiggles just a bit when you give it a gentle shimmy. Remove the frittata from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool. Garnish with herbs, slice with a sharp knife, and serve.
• Let the cooked vegetables cool for a few minutes, then stir them into the egg mixture. Grease 18 muffin cups (I used two muffin pans for this), then fill the cups evenly with a scant 1/3 cup of the mixture. If you reserved any cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittatas now.
• Bake for 13 to 17 minutes, until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittatas jiggle just a bit when you give the pan a gentle shimmy (this happens quickly so keep an eye on them; my pan with only 6 muffins finished sooner). Remove the pans from the oven and place them on a cooling rack to cool. Garnish with herbs, and serve.

A BETTER SPINACH FRITTATA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil
• Using a 10", oven-safe skillet, saute the onions, bell peppers, and garlic in 2 tbsp of oil. Once the veggies are nearly done (about 4 minutes), add bacon crumbles and cream cheese to the mix and cook until a creamy mixture. Scoop the veggie/bacon mix into a bowl to cool while leaving the oil behind. Ensure that excess oil is drained.
• In the same skillet, add the hopped spinach. Cook it down until it starts to wilt, then place it on a paper-towel-lined plate to cool, ensuring the excess oil drips off.
• In the onion bowl, add the parmesan cheese and mix until even clumps form. Then add the 8 eggs, salt, and pepper, and whisk until combined.
• In the same skillet, heat the remaining oil before pouring the egg/veggie mixture into it. Let it cook for 30 seconds, stirring gently with whatever utensil you used before, then evenly cover the top with spinach. Let cook for 5 minutes, or until the edges of the mixture start turning a light brown.
• Place the skillet in the oven with the broil on. Cook for 5-8 minutes, until the surface is golden brown.
• Take out the skillet, cool, and serve while warm.
