Best Baked Frittata With Yogurt Chard And Green Garlic Recipes

GREENS AND GARLIC FRITTATA TO GO

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Beat in the greens, garlic and the Parmesan.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy, 8-inch nonstick omelet pan. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping in every last bit with a heat-proof rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden.
• If the frittata is still runny on the top, wearing oven mitts, slide the frittata out onto a plate or even better, a saucepan lid that has a handle, reverse the pan over the plate or lid, and holding the two together, flip the plate or lid so that the frittata goes back into the pan on its not-quite-cooked side. Finish for no longer than a minute, then reverse onto a platter. Allow to cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into 4 wedges to serve. The wedges pack well and are very portable.

SPANISH FRITTATA WITH HERBY YOGURT AND GREENS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix yogurt, herbs, garlic, lemon juice, and 1/2 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
• Lightly whisk eggs and remaining 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup yogurt sauce and stir just a couple of times (do not completely incorporate yogurt sauce).
• Heat oil in a 10" cast-iron or oven-safe nonstick pan over medium. Add shallots and potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots have softened and potatoes are golden, about 3 minutes. Add greens and cook, stirring occasionally, just until warmed through and wilted if greens were raw. Add egg mixture and cook, shaking pan occasionally, until sides are just beginning to set, 5-7 minutes.
• Transfer pan to oven and bake frittata until puffed and set, 18-20 minutes. Immediately slide onto a cutting board to cool.
• Cut frittata into 4 wedges and serve with remaining yogurt sauce alongside.

BAKED FRITTATA WITH GREEN PEPPERS AND YOGURT

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet and add peppers. Cook until tender, about eight minutes. Add garlic and salt to taste, and cook, stirring until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from heat.
• 2. Place the remaining oil in a 2-quart casserole or a 9-inch cast iron skillet, brush the sides of the pan with the oil and place it in the oven. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and season with salt. Add pepper, saffron water, flour and yogurt, and whisk together. Stir in the peppers and scallions.
• 3. Remove the baking dish from the oven, brush the sides with the hot oil and pour in the egg mixture, scraping every last bit into the pan with a spatula. Bake 30 minutes until puffed and lightly colored on the top. Remove from heat, and allow to settle for 10 minutes before serving.

BAKED FRITTATA WITH GREEN PEPPERS AND YOGURT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet and add the peppers. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about eight minutes. Add the garlic and salt to taste, and cook, stirring until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from the heat.
• Place the remaining tablespoon of oil in a 2-quart casserole or a 9-inch cast iron skillet, brush the sides of the pan with the oil and place it in the oven. Meanwhile, beat the eggs in a large bowl and season with salt. Add the pepper, saffron water, flour and yogurt, and whisk together. Stir in the cooked peppers and the chives or scallions.
• Remove the hot baking dish from the oven, brush the sides with the hot oil and pour in the egg mixture, scraping every last bit into the pan with a spatula. Bake 30 to 35 minutes until puffed and lightly colored on the top. Remove from the heat, and allow to settle for 10 minutes before serving. Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

CHARD FRITTATA

Steps:

• Wash the chard thoroughly; put in a large kettle and steam over medium heat in the water that clings to the leaves. Cover pot while steaming. When chard is tender, after about 10 minutes, drain, reserving liquid for another use, like making a broth, and coarsely chop the tender leaves.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Put the butter and oil in a saute pan, a straight-sided quiche pan or a shallow baking dish that can go in the oven. When the butter has melted and the foam begins to subside, add the minced shallots and saute briefly until they are translucent but not brown. Add chopped chard and mix well. Remove from heat.
• In a bowl combine eggs, cream, salt and pepper and beat thoroughly. Pour this batter over the chard, lifting edges of the chard with a fork to let batter run underneath. Dot the top with cheese cubes and put in middle of oven. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
• Remove and let cool slightly. To serve, cut into squares or wedges.
