Anne Willan's Summer Vegetable Frittata image

This is an italian-style omelet with lots of color and taste. Frittatas differ from omelets in that the vegetables are mixed into the eggs rather than used as a filling. A frittata is cooked very slowly and is not folded over. Frittatas are not really difficult to make and this one, being loaded with vegetables, is especially good! I watched cookbook author Willan demonstrate making this on TV. She said any vegetables do well in a frittata.

Time 50m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, defrosted
4 green onions, sliced on the bias in 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium red bell pepper, cored, seeded, cut into strips
2 medium potatoes, peeled, diced, simmered until tender, about 6-8 minutes
3 eggs
salt & freshly ground black pepper
fresh Italian parsley, and chopped or fresh basil, chopped
1 -2 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Prepare all vegetables as directed; set aside.
  • Lightly whip eggs in a large bowl; salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the prepared vegetables and parsley and/or basil. You'll think the eggs won't hold it all, but they will.
  • Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over very low heat. Add egg mixture and cook very slowly 20-25 minutes, covered, until firm on top and lightly browned underneath.
  • Loosen around edge with a spatula and shake pan to loosen bottom. If the frittata sticks on the bottom, loosen with spatula. Slide out onto a warmed plate.
