PIMENTO CHEESE FRITTATA

Pimento Cheese Frittata image

The South likes to claim pimento cheese as its own, but its origins can actually be traced back to New York, the home of cream cheese, which makes up the spread's foundation. Cheddar and mayonnaise were later additions. This frittata is a hodgepodge of creamy and spicy, celebrating the flavors and textures of pimento cheese. The fresh herbs add vibrance, and the sharp Cheddar can stand up to the spiciness of the various peppers. The chunks of cream cheese add velvety bits to each bite.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 ounces cold cream cheese, cut into 16 pieces
6 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced
1/2 medium bell pepper (preferably red), trimmed, seeded and diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 jalapeño, diced
1 (4-ounce) jar pimiento peppers, diced
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar
2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Steps:

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place the cream cheese pieces in the freezer.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, red-pepper flakes and black pepper until combined.
Add the olive oil, onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapeño to a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and sauté over medium heat until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the pimiento peppers, reserving their liquid. Turn off the heat. Add the reserved pimiento liquid (about ⅓ cup) to the eggs and whisk to combine.
Spread the cooked vegetables in an even layer in the skillet. Sprinkle the Cheddar, chives and chilled cream cheese over the vegetables. Pour the egg mixture on top.
Bake until the eggs are set, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, and let cool slightly before serving warm or at room temperature.

THE LEE BROTHERS' PIMENTO CHEESE

The Lee Brothers' Pimento Cheese image

A decidedly Southern spread with Northern roots, pimento cheese is a simple mix of Cheddar, red bell pepper and mayonnaise that can be found on sandwiches from work sites to garden parties across the 16 states below the Mason-Dixon line. This recipe came to The Times from the Charleston, S.C.-bred cookbook authors and occasional contributors to The Times Matt Lee and Ted Lee.

Time 5m

Yield About 1 1/2 cups, enough for 4 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

8 ounces extra-sharp cheddar cheese, grated with a food processor or hand grater (not pre-grated)
1/4 cup softened cream cheese (2 ounces), pulled into several pieces
Scant 1/2 cup jarred pimento or other roasted red peppers (from a 7-ounce jar), finely diced
3 tablespoons Duke's, Hellmann's or other high-quality store-bought mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon dried red chile flakes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

In a large mixing bowl, place the cheddar cheese in an even layer. Scatter the cream cheese, pimentos, mayonnaise and chile flakes over the cheddar cheese. Using a spatula, mix the pimento cheese until it is smooth and spreadable, about 1 1/2 minutes.
Transfer the pimento cheese to a plastic container or bowl, cover tightly, and store in the refrigerator. Pimento cheese keeps in the refrigerator for 1 week.

LOADED BAKED FRITTATA

Loaded Baked Frittata image

Sautéed onion, pepper and spinach lace this sturdy frittata that's as good warm out of the pan as it is cold. Bacon and goat cheese enrich the mix, which can be eaten alone or put in a sandwich (see tip below). This recipe is, of course, delicious as is, but you can also take a cue from one of our commenters, Joan, who made this with leftover peppers and onions, adding sliced roasted baby potatoes. Ready in 45 minutes, it lasts for up to three days in the refrigerator, so you can enjoy it as long as it lasts - which may not be very long.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

8 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup finely diced bacon
1 cup diced onion (from 1 small onion)
2 cups diced red or orange bell peppers (from 2 peppers)
1 (5-ounce) package baby spinach
4 ounces fresh goat cheese

Steps:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Put bacon in a 10- to 12-inch cast-iron or oven-safe nonstick skillet. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add onion, peppers and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the spinach a handful at a time, stirring after each addition, to wilt.
Reduce heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the vegetables, then smooth the top. Drop small nuggets of goat cheese evenly on top. Transfer to the oven.
Bake until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set, 20 to 25 minutes. When you shake the pan, the eggs shouldn't jiggle. Cool on a rack for about 10 minutes.
Cut into wedges to serve warm or at room temperature.
