1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, like parsley, thyme, or dill

LOADED BAKED FRITTATA



Loaded Baked Frittata image

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.

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 large eggs

PASTA FRITTATA



Pasta Frittata image

This dish is one recipe calling for leftover pasta that is actually worth planning for. It's portable, it's endlessly versatile, and it's practically foolproof. Substitute almost any cheese for the Parmesan (or leave it out altogether) and toss in any cooked vegetable or meat. Make it your own. One last bit of advice from Mr. Bittman: "The key to extreme enjoyment is to make sure that some ends of pasta pieces protrude from the top of the mixture when you put it in the oven. They will become crunchy, giving the leftover pasta yet one more pleasant dimension."

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     easy

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 pound spaghetti, linguine, fettuccine or other long pasta (or about 1/2 pound cooked pasta)
Salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter or extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup minced pancetta, bacon or prosciutto, optional
6 eggs
1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • If using leftover cooked pasta, chop it up. If using dried pasta, bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook pasta until barely tender, somewhat short of where you would normally cook it. Drain, and immediately toss it in a wide bowl with half the butter or oil. Cool it a bit.
  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put remaining butter or oil in a large nonstick ovenproof skillet, and turn heat to medium-high. If you are using meat, add it, and cook, stirring occasionally until crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. (If not using meat, proceed.)
  • In large bowl, combine pasta with remaining ingredients, along with salt and pepper (less salt if you are using meat). Pour into skillet, and turn heat to medium-low. Use a spoon if necessary to even out top of frittata. Cook undisturbed until mixture firms up on bottom, then transfer to oven. Bake just until top is set, about 10 minutes. Remove, and serve hot or at room temperature.

MUSHROOM AND SPINACH FRITTATA



Mushroom and Spinach Frittata image

Use bagged, presliced mushrooms and baby spinach for this and it will come together very quickly. The frittata is great for dinner, breakfast, brunch or lunch.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, easy, main course

Time 45m

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 10 ounce bag presliced mushrooms
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 to 2 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
1 6-ounce bag baby spinach, rinsed
8 eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)
2 tablespoons low-fat milk

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10 or 12-inch nonstick skillet and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring or tossing often, until they begin to sweat and soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper and the garlic, and stir together until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the spinach, a handful at a time and stir until wilted. Turn up the heat and let any excess liquid evaporate from the pan, then remove from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl (you can do this while the mushrooms are cooking). Stir in salt and pepper to taste, the milk, and the mushroom and spinach mixture. Add the Parmesan if desired.
  • Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the skillet until it feels hot when you hold your hand about 1 inch above it. 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 all of it in with a 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 turn the heat down to low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet), and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden. The eggs should be just about set though there will be a layer on the top that is not.
  • Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the top sets, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes and for up to 15. It can be a little runny in the middle if you like it that way. Loosen the edges with a spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges. Serve hot, warm, room temperature, or cold.

ARTICHOKE HEART FRITTATA



Artichoke Heart Frittata image

You can make this easy Italian frittata with the fresh, tiny artichokes that arrive with spring or, more quickly, with frozen artichoke hearts.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 30m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound baby artichokes, trimmed, or one 12-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts
8 eggs
2 tablespoons low-fat milk
Salt, preferably kosher salt
freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons minced Italian parsley, dill, fennel fronds or wild fennel
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan or pecorino

Steps:

  • If using fresh artichokes, steam until tender or boil gently in a pot of generously salted water, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain, refresh with cold water and quarter the artichokes. Thaw frozen artichokes as directed, and drain off any liquid in the bowl.
  • Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Whisk in the milk, about 1/2 teaspoon salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch, heavy nonstick skillet, and add the artichokes. Cook, stirring often, until golden brown, about five to eight minutes. Add the garlic, and cook for another 30 seconds to a minute until fragrant. Stir in the herbs, and season with salt and pepper. Pour in the egg mixture. 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 omelet with a spatula in your other hand, so that the eggs run underneath during the few minutes of cooking.
  • Turn the heat down to low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet) and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden spatula, tilting the pan so that the bottom doesn't burn. Instead it should turn a deep golden brown. Meanwhile, heat the broiler.
  • Finish the omelet under the broiler for one to two minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn. (It should brown slightly, and it will puff under the broiler.) Remove from the heat and immediately sprinkle on the Parmesan or pecorino. Serve hot, warm or room temperature.

HAM AND POTATO FRITTATA



Ham and Potato Frittata image

Easy and delicious, this hearty dish's been appreciated whenever I've served it...breakfast, lunch or dinner. Reheated or cold, the leftovers are also great! We-my husband, our 8-year-old daughter and I-live in a suburb. But our back windows look out at mountains, farms, horses and cows.

BACON AND POTATO FRITTATA WITH GREENS



Bacon and Potato Frittata with Greens image

This is a wonderful meal anytime of day or night. My grandfather used to make frittatas quite often. Instead of finishing a frittata under the broiler he would cook it halfway, put a plate on top of the pan, flip the pan over, and slide the frittata back into the pan to cook the other side. Sometimes a frittata would stick; other times the hot oil would drip on him as he performed this maneuver. It was during these moments that I learned all the really good Italian curse words I still use to this day.
