Frittata With Sorrel Potatoes And Prosciutto Food

FRITTATA WITH POTATO AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy 9 1/2-inch-diameter skillet over medium heat. Add the potato, onion, and garlic. Season the potato mixture with salt and pepper, to taste. Saute over medium-low heat until the potato is golden and crisp on the outside, tender inside, about 7 to 10 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, cream, Parmesan, prosciutto, and basil in a medium bowl to blend. Stir the egg mixture into the potato mixture in the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat until the egg mixture is almost set but the top is still loose, about 3 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown, about 4 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a cutting board. Cut the frittata into 12 wedges.
• Split open each bread piece. Toast the bread on a grill pan until golden. You can also broil the bread cut side up until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, keeping a careful watch on the bread since they can easily burn. Butter the cut sides of the toasted bread. Arrange a frittata wedge on each bottom piece of bread. Cover with the bread tops and serve.

CLASSIC ITALIAN POTATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Peel and chop the potatoes into 1-inch large cubes.
• In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, boil the potatoes for about 5 min, until just tender.
• In the meantime, in a large bowl whisk the eggs until well combined, add in chopped parsley and season with salt and pepper.
• Drain well the potatoes and add them into the bowl with the eggs. Fold in the cheese (if using) and lightly mix all ingredients.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet with the olive oil over medium-low heat. Pour in the frittata mixture, making sure to distribute the potatoes evenly over the bottom of the pan.
• Cover with a lid and cook for about 5-10 minutes, gently shaking the pan every now and then. When the frittata is easily pulled off from the bottom, is ready to be turned. Using a plate with the same diameter of the frittata, carefully put it on top and flip the frittata on the other side.
• Cook on the other side for a further 2-5 minutes, this time without the lid.
• When the frittata is fully cooked, remove from the pan and slide it gently onto a serving plate, and serve
• Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days.

FRITTATA WITH SORREL, POTATOES AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Saute the potatoes and the onion in two tablespoons olive oil until the onions are soft and the potatoes lightly browned and cooked through.
• Beat the eggs together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add the sorrel, thyme and prosciutto and mix together.
• Preheat broiler. Heat the remaining oil in a skillet or a large omelet pan. Add the potato-onion mixture to the eggs and mix thoroughly.
• Cook the omelet over moderate heat until the bottom is set. Finish cooking under a hot broiler until the top is puffed but the omelet is still slightly liquid underneath. Sprinkle with basil or tarragon and serve.

GREENS FRITTATA WITH MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Put the greens in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, season with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Toss the greens with your hands to coat the leaves.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Add the red pepper flakes and parmigiano. Pour the egg mixture over the greens and stir them together.
• Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or 9-inch omelet pan on medium-high. Pour in a film of olive oil and let it heat. Add the frittata mixture and let it cook briskly, lifting the edges with a spatula and tilting the pan to help the bottom set. Reduce the heat to prevent the bottom from over-browning and quickly arrange the sliced mozzarella and prosciutto over the surface. Cook for about 3 minutes.
• Place a large plate over the pan, then carefully invert the frittata onto the plate. Return the pan to the heat, add a touch more olive oil, and slip the frittata back into the pan, uncooked side down, for another 2 minutes. (Alternatively, leave the frittata in the pan and finish under a broiler). Slide the frittata onto a platter. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

• While mushrooms are cooking, lightly beat together whole eggs, whites, parmesan, kosher salt, and pepper to taste.
• Preheat broiler.
• Add egg mixture to mushrooms, then cook over high heat, stirring briskly, until eggs are softly scrambled, 2 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low and form frittata into a 6 1/2-inch square with a spatula. Cook over low heat until bottom is set, about 2 minutes.
• Place skillet under broiler (wrap nonmetal handles in foil), 5 to 6 inches from heat, and broil until eggs are just firm to the touch and barely golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
