GREEN CHILE FRITTATA

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 large eggs, lightly beaten
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon good-quality chile powder
1/2 bunch cilantro, leaves only, finely chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 roasted red peppers (pimiento), sliced into strips
2 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 1/2 cups grated Mexican Manchego or Jack cheese
Sprigs of cilantro, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the eggs with the salt, pepper, chile powder, and cilantro. Whisk with a fork until evenly blended and set aside.
  • In a 10-inch non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and slightly golden. Add the red pepper and the poblano and cook for 2 minutes more. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and swirl the bottom of the pan with a fork to mix the vegetables with the eggs. Reduce the heat to medium-low, scatter the cheese over the top and cook the frittata slowly, covered, until the eggs are set almost all the way through. Shake the pan back and fourth on the burner occasionally to be sure the frittata is not sticking. Place the pan under a broiler on medium for a minute or two just to set the top of the frittata completely. Remove from the heat and let the frittata set in the pan for 10 minutes. Place a round platter on the top of the pan and invert the frittata onto it. Garnish with sprigs of cilantro and serve warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

GREEN CHILE, CORN AND ZUCCHINI FRITTATA



GREEN CHILE, CORN AND ZUCCHINI FRITTATA image

Yield 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
1 zucchini
1/4 cup chopped green onions (about 2 onions, green parts only)
1/3 to ½ cup roasted, peeled, chopped green chile
1 cup corn kernels (about 1 ear)
6 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup grated Monterey Jack and sharp cheddar, divided

Steps:

  • 1. Heat the broiler. Melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cut the zucchini in lengthwise quarters, then in crosswise pieces, about one-third to one-half-inch thick. 2. When the butter sizzles, add the zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally. After 2 to 3 minutes, add the green onions and green chile and cook until the zucchini is tender, about 8 minutes. There should be no liquid in the bottom of the pan. Add the corn and remove from the heat. 3. While the zucchini is cooking, beat the eggs with a fork in a mixing bowl just until the yolks and the white are thoroughly mixed, but don't overbeat, which can make the frittata dry. Stir in the salt, the zucchini mixture and half of the cheese and stir to mix well. 4. Return the skillet to low heat, cover and cook, without stirring, until the eggs have set, leaving only a top layer uncooked, about 10 minutes. Scatter the remaining cheese over the top and place it under the broiler until the top is browned and puffy, 1 to 2 minutes. 5. To unmold the frittata, let it cool slightly in the pan. Use a spatula to loosen it along the sides, and then bang it firmly on a cutting board to release the underside. Slide it out onto a serving plate. Serve either hot or at room temperature. If you're going to refrigerate the frittata, let it return to room temperature before serving.
