Quick Veggie Frittata Recipes

VEGGIE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium (10-inch/25 cm) frying pan over medium heat. Add mushrooms, peppers and onion; saute until tender.
• While vegetables are cooking, whisk together eggs and water. Pour egg mixture over vegetables in the frying pan. Cover and cook over medium heat, occasionally poking through the mixture to allow uncooked egg to flow to the bottom of the pan.
• When bottom is cooked and top is almost set, finish cooking the frittata on the stove top by covering it with a lid for a few minutes, or flip it over in the pan to cook the top, or cook the top under the broiler.
• To flip the frittata, place a dinner plate over the pan holding it firmly in place, then turn the frying pan and plate upside down. The frittata will fall into the plate, top side down. Slide the frittata back into the frying pan, top down. Cook for a few minutes until top (now the bottom) is cooked.
• Alternately, place the frying pan under a preheated broiler until the top is cooked and slightly puffed, about a minute or two. The frying pan must be ovenproof in order to do this. To ovenproof the handle, wrap it with a double thickness of aluminum foil.
• Cut into wedges and serve.

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.

SUPER QUICK HEALTHY VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil to a 9 or 10-inch frying pan over low heat. Cook the onion for about 5 minutes until soft. Take care not to burn.
• Add the garlic, and stir, then add the cooked vegetables and cabbage. Cook for another 2 minutes.
• Season the beaten eggs with a twist of black pepper and a little salt at the last minute (adding salt before this time can make the frittata tough). Give the eggs a good whisking.
• Tip the beaten eggs into the cooked vegetables in the frying pan and stir. Add the parsley and stir well.
• Turn the heat down to low, and cook until the sides and center of the omelet are barely set.
• Turn the frittata over onto a large plate. Add the remaining olive oil to the pan, then transfer frittata back to the frying pan with the uncooked side downwards.
• Sprinkle the goat's cheese over and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the frittata is golden and firm. Alternatively, you can transfer the frittata to the broiler and cook for 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat, and leave to cool slightly. Cut into wedges.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat whole eggs, egg whites, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper until well mixed.
• In 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet; top with vegetables. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, lifting eggs with spatula to allow uncooked portion to flow to bottom.
• Cover; cook 7 to 8 minutes longer or until eggs are almost set but top is slightly moist. Top with cheese. Cover; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted.

QUICK VEG & SOFT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Fry the lardons or bacon in the oil in a large non-stick frying pan until starting to brown, add the courgettes, then fry for a couple of mins until they begin to soften. Add the sweetcorn and spinach, season if you like, then heat through.
• Heat grill to medium. Beat the eggs, then pour over the vegetables. Crumble over the cheese, then cook gently until the egg has just set around the edges, about 5 mins. Slide the frittata under the grill, then cook until the egg is set and the top is lightly browned. Cut into wedges and serve with a simple green salad.
