Steps:
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil on medium heat in a medium frying pan for 1-2 minutes. Add the rice, seasoned with salt and pepper and stir for 2-3 minutes to heat through. In the meantime, whisk the eggs in a large mixing bowl with the Parmesan cheese. Add the eggs to the frying pan and stir occasionally. Once the eggs looks look loosely scrambled, remove the everything from the frying pan and return to the mixing bowl used to whisk the eggs. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the frying pan, increase the heat to medium-high for 2 minutes. Return the eggs to the frying pan and form a patty along the sides of the frittata with a spatula. Cook with frittata for 3-4 minutes and continue to move the spatula along the sides to ensure the eggs don't stick to the side of the frying pan. To flip the frittata, take a large plate (larger than the frying pan) and press the dish firmly on the frying pan with one hand, flipping the pan with the other hand on the handle. Cook for another 2 minutes on the other side. Set aside to cool for 5 or so minutes before serving. This frittata keeps well in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
BAKED RICE FRITTATA
Steps:
- Heat the oven to 325°. Grease the inside of the skillet with 1 tablespoon of the soft butter, and coat the bottom and sides thoroughly with bread crumbs. Pour out any loose crumbs.
- Pour 4 cups of the milk into the large saucepan, and heat rapidly, stirring in the rice, 2 teaspoons salt, and remaining 2 tablespoons butter, until the milk starts to boil. Lower the heat, and simmer, partially covered, about 8 minutes, until the rice has a loose custard consistency. Remove the pan from the heat, and stir in the remaining cup of milk, cooling the rice slightly.
- Whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl, just to break them up. Pour or ladle in the hot rice gradually, whisking well between additions, to avoid scrambling the yolks. Whisk in the grated cheese and chopped scallions.
- In another bowl, whisk the egg whites and a pinch of salt with the electric mixer on medium-low speed until the whites become foamy, then raise the speed and whip just until they form soft peaks. Fold the whites into the rice batter with the wire whisk, gently turning them over and breaking up any large clumps, until incorporated.
- Pour the frittata batter into the skillet, and smooth the top. Set into the oven and bake for about an hour, until the frittata is nicely browned and a paring knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Place the skillet on a cooling rack, and run the knife blade around the sides to loosen the frittata. Let it set for about 10 minutes before unmolding.
- When the frittata has cooled slightly, lay a wooden cutting board over the top of the skillet, hold the two together, and flip them over. Rap on the upturned bottom of the pan and give it a good shake to release the frittata. Present it on the board as is, or invert again onto a serving platter, browned side on top. Serve warm or at room temperature, sliced in wedges.
CHEESY RICE AND ZUCCHINI FRITTATA
To me, frittatas are a perfect taste and texture combination. They're practically up there with all the other great comfort food, but with a tiny bit less guilt. This dish is relatively simple to whip up and a very satisfying addition to a brunch, luncheon, or dinner menu.

SPINACH RICE FRITTATA
A good choice for breakfast or brunch. This recipe must be planned ahead as the brown rice needs to be cooked before adding to the recipe.

LOADED BAKED FRITTATA
Sautéed onion, pepper and spinach lace this sturdy frittata that's as good warm out of the pan as it is cold. Bacon and goat cheese enrich the mix, which can be eaten alone or put in a sandwich (see tip below). This recipe is, of course, delicious as is, but you can also take a cue from one of our commenters, Joan, who made this with leftover peppers and onions, adding sliced roasted baby potatoes. Ready in 45 minutes, it lasts for up to three days in the refrigerator, so you can enjoy it as long as it lasts - which may not be very long.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium bowl, beat eggs, milk, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until smooth. Set aside.
- Put bacon in a 10- to 12-inch cast-iron or oven-safe nonstick skillet. Set over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add onion, peppers and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, stirring often, until onions are translucent, 6 to 7 minutes. Add the spinach a handful at a time, stirring after each addition, to wilt.
- Reduce heat to low and pour in the egg mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute the vegetables, then smooth the top. Drop small nuggets of goat cheese evenly on top. Transfer to the oven.
- Bake until the top is golden brown and the eggs are set, 20 to 25 minutes. When you shake the pan, the eggs shouldn't jiggle. Cool on a rack for about 10 minutes.
- Cut into wedges to serve warm or at room temperature.
