ROSEMARY POTATO FRITTATA

Rosemary Potato Frittata

 Frittata is an egg-based dish similar to an omelette or quiche, enriched with additional ingredients such as meats, cheeses, vegetables or pasta. It may be flavored with herbs

Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 17 mins
Total Time: 32 mins

Ingredients

  • 4 ounce(s) potato(es), new (tiny), cut into 1/4-inch slices (1 cup)
  • 1/4 cup(s) onion(s), red, chopped
  • 1/4 cup(s) pepper(s), green, bell, chopped
  • 1 cup(s) refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, (or 4 eggs)
  • 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, fresh, snipped
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper, black ground
  • cooking spray
  • 1/4 cup(s) cheese, Swiss, shredded

Preparation

1. In a covered 6- to 7-inch nonstick skillet with flared sides, cook potatoes and onion in a small amount of boiling water for 7 minutes. Add sweet pepper. Cook, covered, for 3 to 5 minutes more or until vegetables are tender. Drain in a colander.
2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together egg, 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
3. Wipe out skillet; lightly coat with cooking spray. Return vegetables to skillet. Pour egg mixture over vegetables. Cook over medium heat, without stirring, about 1 minute or until egg mixture begins to set. Run a spatula around the edge, lifting mixture so uncooked portion flows underneath. Continue cooking and lifting edges until egg is almost set but still glossy and moist.
4. Remove skillet from heat. Sprinkle with cheese. Let stand, covered, for 3 to 4 minutes or until tip is set and cheese is melted.
5. To serve, cut frittata into wedges. If desired, top each serving with fresh rosemary.

ZUCCHINI FRITATTA

Zucchini Frittata


 

We ate this dish a lot growing up in my house and now it’s a perfect weekend lazy brunch or even a fast family supper. It is served at room temperature, cut into wedges. Get creative with your vegetables – asparagus and bell peppers are some of my favorites but the key to the dish is olive oil, garlic, and lots of freshly grated parmesan.

2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium zucchini – thinly sliced into rounds
8 eggs
1/4 cup milk
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Preheat the broiler. Sauté garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium nonstick pan over medium heat for 1 minute to infuse flavor. Add the sliced zucchini and cook until tender, but not cooked through, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

Whisk the eggs with the milk, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and half the Parmesan cheese. Pour the egg mixture into the sauté pan and allow it to cook, undisturbed for 1 minute. Push the egg from the outside to the center, filling in the spots with the uncooked egg. When there isn't much loose egg left in the pan, sprinkle the Parmesan on top and place pan in the broiler for 3 to 4 minutes, until egg is set.

Take pan out of broiler, and allow frittata to cool in pan for 5 minutes. Invert plate on top of pan and turn over. Slice into wedges and serve.
