Herb And Goat Cheese Frittata Food

HERBY GREENS AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together the eggs, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl.
• Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet. Add the onions and tomatoes, and saute until the onions are soft and the tomatoes are starting to burst, about 5 minutes. Add the greens, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper; saute for another 2 minutes.
• Turn down the heat to low and pour in the eggs. Using a rubber spatula, very gently move the eggs around a bit -- not scrambling them, just massaging them into the cracks and crevasses of the greens.
• Once the eggs start to set on the bottom, dollop with the goat cheese and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the frittata is set on top, 5 minutes.

HERB AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Coat a large ovenproof skillet with cooking spray and warm over medium heat.
• In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, sour cream, mustard, salt and pepper; stir in parsley, dill and goat cheese.
• Pour into skillet and cook until almost cooked through to the surface, about 5 to 6 minutes. Note: Frequently smooth the surface of the frittata with a spatula, and lift the mixture from the sides of the pan to allow any uncooked eggs to run to the bottom.
• When approximately 1/2 inch of the surface is still uncooked, place frittata under broiler and broil until cooked through and golden on top, about 1 to 2 minutes. Cut into 4 slices and serve.

FRITTATA WITH ASPARAGUS, GOAT CHEESE, AND HERBS

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice water bath. Blanch asparagus until just tender, about 1 minute. Drain and transfer to ice water bath to cool. Drain. Set spears aside.
• Whisk eggs with 1 tsp each salt and pepper. Stir in scallions, chives, and asparagus stalks.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oil in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook until edges begin to set; push cooked edges toward the center of the pan with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking until the center begins to set, about 2 minutes more. Dollop goat cheese over top and sprinkle with reserved asparagus spears.
• Bake until eggs are completely set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

EASTER FRITTATA WITH ASPARAGUS, GOAT CHEESE, AND SPRING HERBS

Steps:

• Herbed Creme Fraiche:In a small bowl, stir together creme fraiche, herbs, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, up to 3 hours.
• Frittata:Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish.
• Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to ice-water bath. Let cool; drain and pat dry.
• Add potatoes to saucepan with water (if necessary, add more water to cover potatoes by at least 1 inch). Return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 5 to 6 minutes; drain.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in potatoes, goat cheese, herbs, and scallions. Transfer mixture to prepared dish. Top with asparagus, pressing down to submerge slightly. Sprinkle with Gruyere.
• Bake 30 minutes, rotating dish halfway through. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking until golden brown, puffed, and just set in center, 10 minutes more (if browning too quickly, tent with foil). Serve warm or at room temperature, with herbed creme fraiche.

FRITTATA WITH GREENS, HERBS AND GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat a 10-12-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat.
• Add 1 T olive oil.
• Sauté pancetta or bacon until browned but not crisp.
• Drain on paper towels and set aside.
• Without cleaning skillet, toss in chopped garlic and sauté just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Immediately toss in chopped greens and sauté until wilted.
• Remove to a plate and keep warm.
• In a blender, food processor or large bowl, combine eggs, milk, herbs, half the goat cheese and the pepper.
• Using a blender or food processor eliminates the need to chop the herbs and works more air into the eggs, giving better volume during cooking.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Heat butter and oil in same skillet, making sure to work oil up sides of pan.
• Return greens to pan and then pour in egg mixture.
• Cook over med heat for about 8 minutes until partially set, using a rubber spatula to pull cooked egg away from sides, allowing liquid egg to fall underneath.
• Crumble pancetta and remaining goat cheese over top of frittata and move pan to middle of oven, allowing at least 8 inches of headroom for eggs to rise, and cook for 20-25 minutes until completely set in the middle.
• Frittata can be served cold, room temp or warm.
• It makes a wonderful breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner with soup and or salad.
