Make Ahead Spanish Frittata Food

SPANISH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat a 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Swirl in the olive oil. Add the onion and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the potato and 3/4 teaspoon of the salt. Continue to cook and occasionally stir until the onion and potato are slightly browned, 5 to 6 more minutes.
• Add the eggs and the remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Swirl them around the pan and lower the heat. When the eggs are set on the side but the top is still loose, place the pan under the broiler for 2 minutes. The frittata will turn slightly golden and puff up before it settles. Cut into wedges to serve. Wrap a wedge in a piece of parchment paper to give someone a portable breakfast bite.

MAKE-AHEAD SPANISH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss potatoes, shallots, paprika, 1/4 cup oil, and 1 1/2 tsp. salt on a 13x9" rimmed baking sheet or metal baking dish. Bake, tossing halfway through, until potatoes are fork-tender and golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Let cool slightly. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F.
• Whisk eggs, sour cream, mustard, and remaining 1 1/4 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Stir in potato mixture. Line the same sheet you used to roast the potatoes with parchment (don't worry about washing pan), leaving some overhang on two sides. Grease parchment generously with oil, then pour egg mixture into pan. Bake frittata until center is just set, surface is puffed, and edges are lightly golden brown, 30-35 minutes. Let cool at least 30 minutes.
• Run a knife around the edges of frittata, then use parchment overhang to carefully lift it out of pan and transfer to a cutting board. Let cool to room temperature, then cut into desired shape.
• Do Ahead: Frittata can be made 5 days ahead. Chill whole or in pieces in an airtight container.

FREEZER-FRIENDLY FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly coat a deep 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Combine eggs, onion, mushrooms, ham, milk, Colby-Jack cheese, and goat cheese in a large bowl. Pour egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with chopped bacon, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set and the edges are golden brown, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, slice into 8 pieces, and serve.

SPANISH TORTILLA

Steps:

• Put a large non-stick frying pan on a low heat. Cook the onion slowly in the oil and butter until soft but not brown - this should take about 15 mins. Meanwhile, peel the tomatoes (if using) by scoring the skins with a cross, putting them in a bowl and pouring over just-boiled water. Drain the water after 2-3 mins and the skins will peel away easily. You can then coarsely grate them.
• Add the potatoes to the pan, then cover and cook for a further 15-20 mins, stirring occasionally to make sure they fry evenly. When the potatoes are soft and the onion is shiny, crush 2 garlic cloves and stir in, followed by the beaten eggs.
• Put the lid back on the pan and leave the tortilla to cook gently. After 20 mins, the edges and base should be golden, the top set but the middle still a little wobbly. To turn it over, slide it onto a plate and put another plate on top, turn the whole thing over and slide it back into the pan to finish cooking.
• Once cooked, transfer to a plate and serve the tortilla warm or cold, scattered with the chopped parsley. To accompany the tortilla, take slices of warmed baguette, stab all over with a fork and rub with the remaining garlic, pile on the grated tomatoes and season with sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
