Mushroom And Scallion Frittata Food

CRISPER CRASH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the vegetables: In a large, ovenproof nonstick skillet set over medium-high heat, add the butter and oil. When the butter melts, add the mushrooms, scallions, asparagus, beans, celery, red pepper and zucchini and cook, stirring frequently, until softened, about 5 minutes.
• For the egg mix: Meanwhile, add the eggs to a bowl along with some salt and pepper. Do not overbeat; just mix until the eggs mostly come together. Then add the Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Parmesan and hot sauce and stir through gently.
• Return to the vegetable mixture, add the pasta, olives and a sprinkle of salt and pepper and stir. Add the more tender vegetables--the kale and spinach--and cook, stirring, until they have wilted and everything is hot.
• Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed across the bottom of the skillet and the lengths of beans and asparagus are spread out, then pour in the egg mixture so that it evenly coats everything. Let it sit on the burner for 30 to 45 seconds to set the edges, then put the skillet in the oven. Cook, watching it carefully, until the eggs are set but not very brown on top, 10 to 12 minutes.
• For the crisper crash salad and simple dressing: Add the oil, lemon juice, mustard and some salt and pepper to a mason jar with a lid and shake well.
• Add the tomatoes, parsley, basil, greens and cucumber to a bowl, drizzle over a little dressing and toss.
• Slide the frittata out of the skillet and onto a cutting board. Slice into wedges with a long serrated knife and serve with the salad.

WILD MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet, with oven safe handle over medium to medium-high heat. Wrapping a rubber handle in foil will allow the pan to transfer to oven as well.
• To hot pan, add oil and mushrooms. Season mushrooms with thyme, salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 5 minutes until all of the veggies are tender. Beat eggs with salt and pepper, dash of half-and-half, lemon zest, scallions and hot sauce. Pour over the mushrooms. Lift and settle eggs in the pan as they brown on the bottom. When the eggs are set but remain uncooked on top, transfer to oven for 7 or 8 minutes, until frittata is golden brown and puffy. Sprinkle the frittata with cheese and return to the oven for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Serve frittata from the hot pan and cut into 6 wedges at the table.

MUSHROOM AND SCALLION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat olive oil in a medium ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add scallions, mushrooms, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; cover, and cook until the vegetables are very soft, about 15 minutes. (The vegetables start out piled high, but they cook down quickly.)
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pour egg mixture over the vegetables, stir for 2 minutes, then cook for 3 to 4 minutes more. Sprinkle cheese over the frittata, and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

MUSHROOM AND SCALLION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium. Add scallions, mushrooms, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are very soft, about 15 minutes. Uncover; cook, stirring, until liquid has evaporated.
• Whisk together eggs and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Pour into skillet. Cook, using a heatproof flexible spatula to pull eggs from edges to center of pan so runny parts run underneath, until eggs are almost set around the edges but still slightly runny on top, 4 to 5 minutes total.
• Sprinkle with cheese and transfer to oven; bake until set in center and browned on top, 8 to 10 minutes. To serve, gently loosen frittata with the spatula and cut into wedges.
• To clean shiitake mushrooms, use a paring knife to remove the woody stems; cut as close as possible to the cap. Do not try to remove by pulling or twisting-the delicate caps will tear. Gently wipe caps with a damp paper towel (do not soak).

CHEESY PEPPER AND MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Whisk the eggs, heavy cream, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl until combined; set aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, without stirring, until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Stir, then continue cooking until the liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the bell peppers and a pinch each of salt and pepper; cook, stirring, until the peppers are softened and lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to medium. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir once or twice to combine; cook, without stirring, until the edges start setting, about 1 minute. Scatter the cheese curds and scallions on top, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the frittata is set and lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes in the skillet, then invert or slide onto a cutting board. Serve warm or at room temperature.

EASY MUSHROOM AND CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a large bowl or measuring cup whisk eggs, milk, Parmesan cheese, sage and pepper together until well mixed, set aside. Preheat oven to 350ºF (180ºC).
• In a 10"(25 cm) non-stick skillet heat oil over medium- high heat; sauté onion and red pepper 2-3 minutes or until softened. Add mushrooms and sauté 4-5 minutes or until lightly browned; add garlic and cook 1 minute. Pour egg mixture into skillet mixing lightly to incorporate mushrooms; sprinkle with parsley if desired. Bake in oven about 12-15 minutes or until just set in the centre and no longer moist on top. Sprinkle with cheese and return to oven for 2 minutes to melt cheese. Loosen around the edges with a rubber spatula and slide out onto serving plate. Cut in wedges to serve. Serve hot or at room temperature.
• Variation: Instead of cooking the frittata in oven it may be cooked on top of stove over medium- low heat; lifting outer edges of omelet to allow uncooked portion to run underneath, then cover and cook until just set. Turn off heat. Sprinkle with cheese and cover to melt cheese.
• Tip: Substitute 4 eggs and 4 egg whites for the 8 eggs to lower fat.

FRESH HERBS AND SCALLION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a small skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add the scallions. Cook, stirring, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes, and remove from the heat.
• Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the herbs, salt, pepper, mint, scallions and milk and beat together.
• Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the omelet with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan every once in a while, until the frittata is just about set. Meanwhile, light the broiler.
• If the frittata is not quite set on the top, place under the broiler, about 3 inches from the heat, for 1 minute, watching closely, until just beginning to color on the top. Do not allow the eggs to brown too much or they'll taste bitter. Remove from the heat, allow to sit in the pan for 5 minutes or longer, then carefully slide out onto a platter, or cut in wedges in the pan. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.

MUSHROOM AND SPINACH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10 or 12-inch nonstick skillet and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring or tossing often, until they begin to sweat and soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper and the garlic, and stir together until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the spinach, a handful at a time and stir until wilted. Turn up the heat and let any excess liquid evaporate from the pan, then remove from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl (you can do this while the mushrooms are cooking). Stir in salt and pepper to taste, the milk, and the mushroom and spinach mixture. Add the Parmesan if desired.
• Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the skillet until it feels hot when you hold your hand about 1 inch above it. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping all of it in with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked turn the heat down to low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet), and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden. The eggs should be just about set though there will be a layer on the top that is not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the top sets, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn (at most, it should brown very slightly and puff under the broiler). Remove from the heat, shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking and allow it to cool for at least 5 minutes and for up to 15. It can be a little runny in the middle if you like it that way. Loosen the edges with a spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges. Serve hot, warm, room temperature, or cold.

WILD MUSHROOM FRITTATA WITH CHEDDAR, GREEN ONIONS, AND PEAS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the broiler with the rack in the second position from the top.
• 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, 1/2 tsp salt, a few grinds of pepper, the nutmeg, and cayenne.
• 3. In a 12-in/30.5-cm ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. When the butter is melted and hot, add the potatoes and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Cook the potatoes, stirring every now and then, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the green onions, mushrooms, garlic, thyme, and another sprinkle of salt and pepper and continue to cook and stir until the mushrooms have given off their liquid and are dry, about 4 minutes. Add the peas and cook until all of the veggies are tender and the peas are warmed through, another minute or two. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spread the filling evenly over the bottom of the pan and sprinkle the cheese over the top.
• 4. Pour the eggs evenly over the vegetables in the pan and reduce the heat to low. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes, then remove the lid and transfer the pan to the broiler. Broil the frittata until the top is lightly browned and the eggs have firmed up in the center, about 4 minutes. To test, press the center of the frittata lightly with your finger. If it feels firm, it's done.
• 5. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it rest for 3 minutes on a wire rack on the countertop to continue to firm up before cutting it into wedges. It will be puffy when it comes out of the oven but will deflate and become firmer as it cools. Serve the frittata hot or at room temperature.
