Corn Frittata With Cheese Food

CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk 3/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon each baking powder and pepper in a bowl. Whisk 1/2 cup milk and 2 eggs in another bowl; stir in the flour mixture. Add 2 cups corn, 1/4 cup each chopped cilantro and scallions, 1 chopped jalapeno and the zest and juice of 1/2 lime. Cook 1/4 cupfuls in a skillet with olive oil, 2 minutes per side. Serve with Greek yogurt.

FRITTATA WITH BACON, CORN, AND GRUYèRE RECIPE

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to 4 inches below broiler and preheat broiler to high. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk or half and half until fully combined. Stir in half of cheese and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a 10-inch oven-safe nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron or carbon steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add bacon and cook until light brown but not crisp, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and remove all but 1 tablespoon bacon fat from pan.
• Add corn, scallions, and jalapeño to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Pour eggs into skillet and cook, stirring and scraping pan all over, until very loose curds form throughout, about 2 minutes. Continue to cook until eggs on bottom and edges are set, about 2 minutes. Top with remaining cheese, bacon, and a few jalapeño slices for decoration, if using.
• Place under broiler and broil until top is just set and a pale golden brown, a few minutes. Serve immediately.

SOUTHWEST CORN FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Whisk eggs in medium bowl to blend. Mix in corn, cheese and 2 tablespoons cilantro. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Mix in tortillas.
• Heat oil in heavy medium broilerproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté until just tender, about 5 minutes. Pour egg mixture into skillet and stir to blend. Cover skillet. Cook frittata over low heat until eggs are almost set, about 8 minutes. Uncover skillet; broil frittata until top is set and starting to brown, about 1 minute. Slide frittata onto plate. Sprinkle with remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro. Cut into wedges and serve.

CORN FRITTATA WITH CHEESE

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the eggs and basil; set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large oven proof skillet.
• Add the corn, zucchini, and green onions.
• Cook and stir for 3 minutes; add tomatoes and cook uncovered over medium heat about 5 additional minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender.
• Pour the egg mixture over vegetables in skillet and cook over medium heat.
• As the mixture sets, run a spatula around edge of skillet, lifting egg mixture so uncooked portion runs underneath.
• Continue cooking and lifting edges until egg mixture is almost set, the surface of the frittata will be moist.
• Sprinkle with cheese and place the skillet under broiler 4 to 5 inches from heat.
• Broil 1 to 2 minutes or until the top is set and cheese is melted.

SPICY CORN FRITTATA WITH TOMATOES AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Set a rack on the top shelf of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
• In a large ovenproof skillet over high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the tomatoes and saute for 2 minutes. Add the corn, cilantro, scallions, garlic, and jalapeno and saute for 2 more minutes or until the garlic is fragrant and the mixture thickens. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and let cool for several minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• In a large bowl, season the eggs with salt and pepper. Beat them lightly with a fork, only enough to mix the whites and the yolks. Add the cooled vegetables and cold butter and stir to combine.
• Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and put it over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, swirling it all around and up the sides of the pan. Add the egg and vegetable mixture and stir gently with the back of a fork without touching the bottoms and sides of the pan. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bottom of the frittata begins to set. Remove the cover and transfer the pan to the top shelf of the oven and bake until golden brown and puffed, about 15 minutes.
• Slide the frittata onto a serving platter, cut it into wedges, and serve immediately or cool and serve at room temperature.

SWEET CORN FRITTATA WITH CHERRY TOMATO COMPOTE

Steps:

• Make the compote:
• Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, for about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes longer. Pour in the wine and cook until the wine is reduced by about half. Add the basil, salt, and pepper and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes burst and become fragrant, 5 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside the tomatoes in a bowl.
• Make the frittata:
• Position an oven rack about 3 inches from the top and preheat the broiler.
• In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium, heat 1 tablespoon of the cooking fat. Add the diced white part of the scallions and the minced garlic and cook, stirring often, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the potato and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the potato softens, about 10 minutes. Add the corn and continue to cook for about 2 minutes longer.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, red pepper flakes, and half the feta cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the veggie mixture in the skillet and top with the remainder of the cheese. Stir in the potato mixture and the scallion greens.
• Wipe out the skillet and, over medium-high, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking fat. Cook the frittata, lifting up the cooked egg around the edges with a rubber spatula to let the uncooked eggs flow underneath, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, giving the pan a shake now and again, until the eggs are mostly set but the center is still slightly jiggly, 3 to 5 minutes more.
• Transfer the frittata to the oven and broil until the top is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes (keep a close eye on the frittata, as it can easily burn). Serve topped with the tomato compote.
