FABULOUS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• For the par-cooked red potatoes: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potatoes, cover and cook until the skin pierces easily but the center is still firm, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the water and allow to cool slightly before slicing.
• For the roasted red bell pepper: Place 1 red bell pepper skin-side down on a burner of a gas stove over medium-high heat. Turn the pepper as it chars until it's black all over. Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and steam for 5 minutes. When the pepper is cool enough to handle, remove the charred skin and the seeds. Cut half of the roasted pepper into slices and reserve the remaining half for another recipe.
• In a medium bowl, add the ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon of the oil and some salt and pepper.
• Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a 10-inch ovenproof skillet set over medium heat. Add the eggs to the skillet and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with the peppers, potatoes and spinach. Dollop the ricotta cheese evenly over the top. Cover the pan, then transfer to the oven and cook for 20 minutes.
• Cut the frittata into four wedges, and garnish with chives to serve.

THE FARMER'S FRITTATA (ITALIAN-STYLE OMELET)

Steps:

• Combine zucchini and summer squash in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons kosher salt over top; toss until everything is evenly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
• Thoroughly rinse squash with cold water to remove all salt; transfer to a colander and let drain for 15 minutes.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp, about 5 minutes.
• While the bacon is cooking, mix eggs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, and green onions together with a fork in a large bowl.
• Raise the heat on the bacon to medium-high; toss in peppers and red onion plus a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the peppers just start to soften and the onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add drained squash and carefully stir together; cook until squash is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Toss Cheddar cheese into the skillet and pour egg mixture over top. Stir with a spatula (like you were making scrambled eggs) until it starts to thicken up, 30 to 45 seconds. Shake the pan gently to settle the contents and turn off the heat. Push the edges down a bit with the spatula and sprinkle goat cheese over top. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
• Place under the preheated broiler until the surface is lightly browned and frittata is firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Sprinkle with more green onions and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a serving plate.
