Best Feta And Pepper Frittata Recipes

SAUSAGE, RED PEPPER AND FETA FRITTATA

Steps:

• For the frittata: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof saute pan over high heat, add the olive oil, onions, sausage, garlic and oregano, stirring frequently to break up the clumps. Add the roasted peppers and cook about 10 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, feta cheese, smoked salt and pepper. Pour the mixture into the saute pan and bake until the eggs are set and golden brown and the frittata pulls away from the sides slightly, about 35 minutes. Remove the frittata from the oven and let cool about 10 minutes.
• For the sauce: In a small bowl, combine the chives, lemon zest and juice, sour cream and olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cut the frittata into pieces and serve with dollop of the sour cream sauce.

CALIFORNIA ASPARAGUS FRITTATA WITH RED BELL PEPPER AND FETA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
• To blanch asparagus, in a large frying pan, bring approximately 3 inch of water to a boil.
• Stir in 1 Tbs. salt.
• Add asparagus; arrange in one layer.
• Cook at a medium boil until slightly underdone, about 3 minutes, depending on thickness.
• Drain on paper towel; cool. (Recipe can be made ahead to this point. Refrigerate cooled asparagus until ready to continue.).
• To prepare egg mixture, whisk parsley, water, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and pepper into egg; stir in cheese; reserve.
• To cook frittata, reserving one whole per serving, cut remaining asparagus at an angle into 1 inch pieces; reserve.
• In a heavy (or non-stick) oven-proof, 12 inch frying pan (with a cover) sauté bell pepper in olive oil until barely tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
• Stir butter into pan.
• Stir in onion and reserved asparagus pieces; sauté for 1 minute.
• Pour egg mixture into pan, quickly stirring gently without scraping the bottom of the pan to distribute vegetables.
• Bake on the middle rack of oven, covered, for 10 minutes.
• Remove cover; bake until edges are browned, eggs are set, and center is just form to the touch, about 10 minutes.
• Let frittata rest 5 minutes.
• Loosen the sides and bottom of frittata with a narrow, flexible spatula, then carefully cover pan (which will still be hot) with a large, warmed serving platter.
• Protecting your hands with potholders, flip frying pan over onto platter.
• Alternatively, serve frittata in the pan,
• Cut frittata into wedges; garnish each with the reserved asparagus spears, lemon wedges (to squeeze into frittata), and sprigs of parsley or chives.

POTATO RED PEPPER AND FETA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°. Place a 10- to 12- inch oven-safe skillet (or sauté pan!) on the stove over medium-high heat. Coat the bottom with olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions and a pinch of salt, and sauté until the onions are translucent and starting to turn brown. Add the potatoes and another pinch of salt, and cook, stirring every few minutes, until the potatoes are browned and cooked through. Add the red peppers and the thyme - I like the red peppers still crunchy, but cook them for longer if you like softer peppers. Taste to adjust the seasonings. Pour the eggs into the pan and stir the vegetables until the eggs are evenly distributed. Sprinkle the feta over the top of the frittata. Cook without stirring for 3-5 minutes until the eggs are set on the bottoms and sides, but the middle is still runny. Put the entire pan in the oven and bake for 5 - 10 minutes until the eggs are completely set and beginning to pull away from the sides. Let the frittata cool for a few minutes and then slice it into wedges. We like to serve frittatas with a simple green salad and a crusty piece of bread. Leftovers are also excellent eaten hot or cold!

SLOW COOKER FRITTATA WITH KALE, ROASTED RED PEPPER, AND FETA

Steps:

• Wash kale if needed, and spin dry or dry with paper towels. Heat the oil, either in the Ninja Cooker on the Stovetop/High setting or in a large frying pan on medium-high. When the oil is hot, add the kale and saute until it's softened into a flat layer, about 3-4 minutes in the Ninja Cooker and slightly less in a pan. If you're using a regular slow cooker, spray it well with non-stick spray or oil and transfer the cooked kale to the slow cooker. If you're using the Ninja Cooker, turn to Slow Cook/Low setting.
• Drain red peppers and chop into fairly small pieces. Slice the green onions and crumble the Feta. Add the chopped red pepper and sliced green onion to the slow cooker with the kale. Beat the eggs well, pour over other ingredients in the slow cooker, and stir so all ingredients are well-combined. Season with Spike Seasoning and black pepper, then sprinkle on the Feta.
• Cook on low for 2 - 3 hours, or until the frittata is well set and cheese is melted. (I cooked mine for 2 hours and 45 minutes and it was perfect, but I got distracted with a phone call and it may have been done slightly sooner than that. I think the Ninja cooks a little hotter than other slow cookers, so it may take slightly longer if you don't use the Ninja Cooker.) Serve hot, with a dollop of low-fat sour cream if desired.

SLOW COOKER FRITTATA WITH KALE, ROASTED RED PEPPER, AND FETA

This will keep well in the fridge for several days and can be reheated in the microwave. (Don't microwave too long or it will get rubbery.)

ZUCCHINI, RED PEPPER AND FETA FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a large non-stick ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium heat; cook the onion, zucchini and garlic, stirring often, for 5 to 8 minutes or until softened.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper; stir in the red pepper and dill.
• Pour into the skillet; reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Sprinkle with the feta and olives; cook for 10 minutes or until the bottom and side are firm yet the top is still slightly runny.
• Broil for 3 to 5 minutes or until golden brown and set.
• Cut into wedges.

FETA AND PEPPER FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, add the peppers and cook over a medium heat for 15 mins until softened and lightly coloured. Scatter over the feta.
• Combine the eggs, cream and herbs, then season well. Pour over the pepper mixture, reduce the heat and cook for 15-20 mins until just set. Cook the top under a pre-heated broiler for 5 mins until just golden. Cut into thick wedges and serve.
