Spanish Frittata With Prosciutto Potatoes And Peas Recipes

FRITTATA WITH POTATO AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy 9 1/2-inch-diameter skillet over medium heat. Add the potato, onion, and garlic. Season the potato mixture with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute over medium-low heat until the potato is golden and crisp on the outside, tender inside, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, cream, Parmesan, prosciutto, and basil in a medium bowl to blend. Stir the egg mixture into the potato mixture in the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until the egg mixture is almost set but the top is still loose, about 3 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a cutting board. Cut the frittata into 12 wedges.
• Split open each bread piece. Toast the bread on a grill pan until golden. You can also broil the bread cut side up until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, keeping a careful watch on the bread since they can easily burn. Butter the cut sides of the toasted bread. Arrange a frittata wedge on each bottom piece of bread. Cover with the bread tops and serve.

SPANISH-STYLE POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven in broiler mode and place a rack 10 to 12 inches (25 to 30.5 centimeters) below the heating element.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of pepper and 1/4 cup (25 grams) of the Parmesan cheese.
• Place the peeled and diced potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl, then toss with 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of the olive oil and season with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 6 to 9 minutes total, or until fork tender.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) of olive oil and the butter over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch (25-centimeter) omelet pan. Add the onion and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about 5 minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan and toss gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season the mixture with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Pour the reserved egg mixture into the pan over the potatoes and onions. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata; repeat until the eggs start to set, 2 to 3 minutes. Turn the stove to low and sprinkle the mozzarella and remaining 1/4 cup (25 grams) of Parmesan over the top of the frittata.
• Once the frittata is mostly set, place the pan under the broiler for a minute or two to lightly brown the cheese. Remove from the heat and let the tortilla rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with some sour cream, if desired.

SPANISH FRITTATA WITH PROSCIUTTO, POTATOES AND PEAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Heat vegetable oil in large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes; cover and cook until tender, stirring occasionally, about 18 minutes. (Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Remove potatoes from skillet. Scrape out and discard any browned bits from pan. Whisk eggs, salt and pepper in large bowl to blend. Pour eggs into same skillet. Arrange half of potatoes over eggs. Sprinkle half of prosciutto and half of peas over potatoes. Repeat with remaining potatoes, prosciutto and peas. Bake until puffed and set, about 15 minutes. Loosen edges and bottom of frittata with flexible spatula; slide out onto plate. Drizzle with truffle oil. Sprinkle with chives and serve.

FRITTATA WITH SORREL, POTATOES AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Saute the potatoes and the onion in two tablespoons olive oil until the onions are soft and the potatoes lightly browned and cooked through.
• Beat the eggs together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the sorrel, thyme and prosciutto and mix together.
• Preheat broiler. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet or a large omelet pan. Add the potato-onion mixture to the eggs and mix thoroughly.
• Cook the omelet over moderate heat until the bottom is set. Finish cooking under a hot broiler until the top is puffed but the omelet is still slightly liquid underneath. Sprinkle with basil or tarragon and serve.
