Fresh Mozzarella Frittata Recipes

MOZZARELLA, BASIL & ZUCCHINI FRITTATA

Steps:

• Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
• Heat oil in a large broiler-safe nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and zucchini and cook, stirring frequently, until soft, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk eggs, salt and pepper in a bowl. Pour the eggs over the vegetables in the pan. Cook, lifting the edges to allow uncooked egg from the middle to flow underneath, until nearly set, about 2 minutes. Arrange mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes on top and place the skillet under the broiler until the eggs are slightly browned, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Let stand for 3 minutes. Top with basil.
• To release the frittata from the pan, run a spatula around the edge, then underneath, until you can slide or lift it out onto a cutting board or serving plate. Cut into 4 slices and serve.

OVEN ROASTED TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil.
• Toss the tomatoes with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Arrange the tomatoes on the prepared baking pan cut-side up and roast until they are slightly shrunken and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove the skins and cut each tomato in half lengthwise.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk the eggs, half-and-half and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Grate the garlic over the oil and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the eggs and distribute the tomatoes and the mozzarella evenly. Cook on the stove until the bottom and edges are just starting to set, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until just set in the center, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Let stand at least 5 minutes. The frittata can be served warm or at room temperature.

PROSCIUTTO-AND FRESH MOZZARELLA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• IN a large bowl, beat the eggs. Beat in the milk, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, parsley, and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
• In an 8" nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the shallots, and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the tomato and prosciutto and cook, stirring, until warm, about 2 minutes. Pour in the eggs and cook until beginning to set on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Poke the mozzarella cubes into the eggs. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake frittata for about 20 minutes, until just firm when lightly pressed.
• Set the skillet over high heat and shake the frittata until releases, about 10 seconds. Plac a large, flat plate over the skillet and carefully invenrt the frittata onto it. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.
