ASPARAGUS & ZUCCHINI FRITTATA



Asparagus & Zucchini Frittata image

A yummy frittata. When making this, I've used a herb grinder which has in it a wonderful combination of rosemary and sage, so if you like sage, you may want to add a bit of sage as well. Alternatively, you could add other herbs such as oregano, marjoram or thyme. Obviously you may also use more or less cloves of garlic - depending on your taste preferences.

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Olive oil, for drizzling
8 mushrooms, quartered
6 spears asparagus, chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 large eggs
1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 dashes hot sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1 medium onion, halved and sliced thin
1 cold baked potato, diced
1/4 cup chopped green olives with pimentos
2 jarred roasted red peppers, sliced thin
8 fresh basil leaves, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Drizzle olive oil over the mushrooms and asparagus on a baking sheet, sprinkle with salt and pepper and roast until a nice color is achieved, about 12 minutes. Set aside.
  • Beat together the eggs with some salt and pepper in a bowl. (Do not over-beat; just mix until the eggs mostly come together.) Stir in the Monterey Jack, Parmesan and hot sauce and set aside.
  • In a large ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and golden brown, several minutes. Add the diced potatoes, sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir to cook for a couple of minutes. Finally, add the asparagus, mushrooms, olives and roasted red peppers and cook, stirring, until everything is hot.
  • Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed across the bottom of the skillet, then pour in the egg mixture so that it evenly coats everything. Let it sit on the burner for 30 to 45 seconds to set the edges, then put the skillet in the oven. Cook, watching it carefully, until the eggs are set but not very brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Slide the frittata out of the skillet and onto a cutting board. Sprinkle on the basil and slice into wedges with a long serrated knife.

PERFECT FRITTATA WITH ZUCCHINI AND PROVOLONE



Perfect Frittata with Zucchini and Provolone image

Time 35m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 tablespoons butter
1 cup sliced scallions (about 6)
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt, divided
2 cups thinly sliced zucchini (about 1 medium)
12 large eggs
1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup grated provolone (2 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Preheat broiler with rack 6 inches from heating element. Melt butter in a 10-inch broilerproof nonstick skillet over medium-high. Add scallions and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cook until tender, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir in zucchini and cook until tender, 4 to 8 minutes. (This ensures that the vegetables are cooked and won't release extra moisture, which would make the frittata tough and watery.)
  • Meanwhile, beat together eggs and milk with a fork (it gives you more speed and agility than a whisk here) until well combined. Stir in basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture into skillet; cook over medium-high, stirring with a spatula to create large curds, until eggs are wet on top but otherwise set throughout, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle with provolone, pressing about half down into eggs. Transfer to oven; broil until puffed and browning in spots and eggs are just set, 1 to 2 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing. Frittata can be served hot or at room temperature.
