Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large eggs
2 tbsp milk or water
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
3 new potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1/4-in/6-mm dice
4 green onions, white and tender green parts, thinly sliced
10 oz/280 g mixed wild mushrooms (see "It's that easy"), such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster, brushed clean and sliced
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tsp minced fresh thyme
1/2 cup/70 g frozen peas, thawed
1/2 cup/55 g shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the broiler with the rack in the second position from the top.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 tsp salt, a few grinds of pepper, the nutmeg, and cayenne.
  • 3. In a 12-in/30.5-cm ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. When the butter is melted and hot, add the potatoes and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes, stirring every now and then, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the green onions, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and another sprinkle of salt and pepper and continue to cook and stir until the mushrooms have given off their liquid and are dry, about 4 minutes. Add the peas and cook until all of the veggies are tender and the peas are warmed through, another minute or two. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spread the filling evenly over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle the cheese over the top.
  • 4. Pour the eggs evenly over the vegetables in the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then remove the lid and transfer the pan to the broiler. Broil the frittata until the top is lightly browned and the eggs have firmed up in the center, about 4 minutes. To test, press the center of the frittata lightly with your finger. If it feels firm, it's done.
  • 5. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for 3 minutes on a wire rack on the countertop to continue to firm up before cutting it into wedges. It will be puffy when it comes out of the oven but will deflate and become firmer as it cools. Serve the frittata hot or at room temperature.

EASY MUSHROOM AND CHEESE FRITTATA



Easy Mushroom and Cheese Frittata image

Frittata is an Italian version of an omelet that has the vegetables mixed in with the eggs and since it is not folded but served open face, it is easier to handle. It may be baked in oven or cooked on top of stove and served any time of day.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 eggs
1/4 cup 2% low-fat milk
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried sage
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil or 2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, diced
1/2 cup red pepper, diced
8 ounces sliced small mushrooms
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons minced parsley (optional)
3/4 cup shredded provolone cheese, Swiss or 3/4 cup jarlsberg cheese

Steps:

  • In a large bowl or measuring cup whisk eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, sage and pepper together until well mixed, set aside. Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
  • In a 10"(25 cm) non-stick skillet heat oil over medium- high heat; sauté onion and red pepper 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add mushrooms and sauté 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned; add garlic and cook 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into skillet mixing lightly to incorporate mushrooms; sprinkle with parsley if desired. Bake in oven about 12-15 minutes or until just set in the centre and no longer moist on top. Sprinkle with cheese and return to oven for 2 minutes to melt cheese. Loosen around the edges with a rubber spatula and slide out onto serving plate. Cut in wedges to serve. Serve hot or at room temperature.
  • Variation: Instead of cooking the frittata in oven it may be cooked on top of stove over medium- low heat; lifting outer edges of omelet to allow uncooked portion to run underneath, then cover and cook until just set. Turn off heat. Sprinkle with cheese and cover to melt cheese.
  • Tip: Substitute 4 eggs and 4 egg whites for the 8 eggs to lower fat.

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 pound small fingerling potatoes, thinly sliced
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
4 basil leaves, chopped
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
12 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
3 ounces fresh goat cheese, cut into 6 pieces
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano or Asiago cheese, finely grated (1/2 cup)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook onion until soft and translucent, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove onions and add remaining tablespoon olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter. Add potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Saute until they begin to turn golden brown, about 4 minutes. Return onions to skillet in an even layer. Sprinkle evenly with basil and parsley.
  • Heat broiler. Use a whisk to lightly beat eggs in a large bowl, then whisk in cream, and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
  • Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof flexible spatula to stir and push egg from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs are almost set (they should still be wet on top but otherwise set throughout), 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Drop dollops of goat cheese on top of frittata, distributing evenly and pressing down into eggs a bit with the spatula. Sprinkle evenly with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Broil until frittata is set on top and has puffed slightly, and cheese is melted and golden, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes.
  • Gently run the spatula around the edges and underneath the frittata and carefully slide out of pan onto a plate. Slice into six wedges and serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
