Quick Arugula And Mozzarella Frittata Recipes

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.

QUICK ARUGULA AND MOZZARELLA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Cook garlic in oil in a 10-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes.
• Discard garlic and add arugula, then cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Whisk together eggs, egg whites, salt, and pepper until combined, then pour over arugula in skillet and cook, undisturbed, over moderate heat until almost set, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add sliced tomatoes and sprinkle cheese evenly on top and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until eggs are just set and cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Can be served warm or cold.

EGG WHITE FRITTATA WITH ARUGULA, TOMATO AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until tender and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes. Add the arugula and cook, stirring constantly, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium low.
• Beat the egg whites and mustard in a medium bowl with a mixer on high speed until foamy.
• Return the heat to medium and pour the egg white mixture into the skillet. Cook until the bottom is set, lifting the edges occasionally to allow the raw egg whites to drip to the bottom of the skillet, about 3 minutes. Top with the tomato slices and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Top evenly with the goat cheese.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the eggs are set, about 8 minutes. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of basil, if desired.

GREENS FRITTATA WITH MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Put the greens in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, season with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Toss the greens with your hands to coat the leaves.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Add the red pepper flakes and parmigiano. Pour the egg mixture over the greens and stir them together.
• Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or 9-inch omelet pan on medium-high. Pour in a film of olive oil and let it heat. Add the frittata mixture and let it cook briskly, lifting the edges with a spatula and tilting the pan to help the bottom set. Reduce the heat to prevent the bottom from over-browning and quickly arrange the sliced mozzarella and prosciutto over the surface. Cook for about 3 minutes.
• Place a large plate over the pan, then carefully invert the frittata onto the plate. Return the pan to the heat, add a touch more olive oil, and slip the frittata back into the pan, uncooked side down, for another 2 minutes. (Alternatively, leave the frittata in the pan and finish under a broiler). Slide the frittata onto a platter. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

ARUGULA AND FONTINA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler.
• Cook garlic in oil in a 10-inch well-seasoned cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 2 minutes. Discard garlic and add arugula, then cook, stirring frequently, until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until combined, then pour over arugula in skillet and cook, undisturbed, over moderate heat until almost set, 5 to 6 minutes. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top and broil 4 to 5 inches from heat until eggs are just set and cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes.
