Time 1h10m

Yield 1 frittata, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 green bell peppers, diced
2 garlic cloves, pureed in a mortar with a pinch of salt
salt
6 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1 pinch saffron thread, dissolved in 1 tablespoon hot water
1 teaspoon all-purpose flour
3/4 cup yogurt, drained
1/2 cup chopped fresh chives or 1/2 cup finely chopped scallion

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy skillet and add peppers. Cook until tender, about eight minutes. Add garlic and salt to taste, and cook, stirring until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from heat.
  • 2. Place the remaining oil in a 2-quart casserole or a 9-inch cast iron skillet, brush the sides of the pan with the oil and place it in the oven. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and season with salt. Add pepper, saffron water, flour and yogurt, and whisk together. Stir in the peppers and scallions.
  • 3. Remove the baking dish from the oven, brush the sides with the hot oil and pour in the egg mixture, scraping every last bit into the pan with a spatula. Bake 30 minutes until puffed and lightly colored on the top. Remove from heat, and allow to settle for 10 minutes before serving.
