Mixed Vegetable Frittata Recipes

EASY VEGETABLE FRITTATA

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.

MIXED VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• *Pre-heat oven to 400º (broil).
• In medium skillet add olive oil, pesto, and garlic. Sauté on medium heat until fragrant (1-2 minutes).
• Add onions and peppers and continue to sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes.
• Next add asparagus or broccoli (potatoes should be cooked ahead of time if you want to use those).
• After 2-3 minutes, add the zucchini and mushrooms.
• When vegetables are nearly cooked, add the spinach and cook until dark green.
• Make sure the veggies are pretty much evenly distributed and flat, then pour in the egg beaters.
• Cook on stove top for about 3 minutes and then transfer to oven to cook the top portion of the egg.
• When the top begins to puff in the middle, bring back to stove top.
• Add cheese, then place under broiler for additional 2 minutes (until cheese is melted and bubbly).
• Cut into wedges and serve (this re-heats well in the microwave for leftovers).
• *NOTE - all measurements are approximate and can be changed to your preferences.
