MUSHROOM SPINACH GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a large pot bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add salt to pot. Add spinach to pot and cook for 30 seconds. Remove spinach from pot and immediately transfer to a bowl with 1 cup of water and ice. When the spinach is cool, drain it and squeeze out the excess water. Chop spinach roughly.
• In a large saucepan, heat oil over high heat. Add onions and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Reduce heat to medium-low and saute until it's golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Remove stems and black gills from the mushrooms. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the mushrooms with olive oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer mushrooms to a small baking pan and roast in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender. Remove from heat and let cool. Once cooled, dice the mushrooms and set aside.
• Turn up the oven temperature to 400*F.
• In a medium nonstick ovensafe saucepan set over medium-low heat, add 1 teaspoon of butter, 1/2 of the spinach, 1/2 of mushrooms, and 1/2 of eggs. Season mixture with salt and pepper. When eggs begin to set, top with 1/8 cup goat cheese. Place in oven and bake for 5 to 7 minutes.
• Repeat with another teaspoons of butter and the other half of the spinach, mushrooms, eggs and another 1/8 cup goat cheese to make a second frittata(seasoning with salt and pepper) and serve. Enjoy!

SPINACH, BACON, AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F or preheat the broiler to medium-high. Heat the oil in a 9-inch nonstick ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add the pancetta or bacon and saute until golden, then remove with a slotted spoon; set aside. Add the shallots to the pan, lower the heat, and cook gently for about 10 minutes, until soft but not colored. Add the spinach and stir until just wilted, then remove from the heat.
• Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl, then stir in the pancetta or bacon, spinach and shallots, grated cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Put the frying pan back over low heat, pour in the egg mixture, and cook gently, without stirring, letting the eggs set slowly from the bottom up. After about 5 minutes, give the pan a little shake: the bottom half of the frittata should be set, with a layer of wet egg still on top.
• Dot the goat cheese over the top. If you're baking the frittata, place it in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes, until just set. Or put the frittata under the broiler, ideally not too close to the heat, for about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly (or completely) before slicing and serving.

GOAT CHEESE, PROSCIUTTO AND CARAMELIZED ONION FRITTATA

Steps:

• For the Onions:
• Remove the shoot and base of the onions. Peel off the onion skin and cut the onions from pole to pole.
• Cut the onion into 1/4-inch slices. Add the olive oil to a large saute pan over medium heat, then add the onions and season with the salt.
• Cook until the onions begin to wilt, about 30 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent sticking. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir every few minutes as the onions reduce in size.
• If necessary, deglaze the pan with balsamic vinegar or water.
• Continue cooking until the onions are dark brown. Turn off the heat and scrape up any bits that are stuck to the bottom of the pan. Allow the onions to cool.
• For the Frittata:
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a small bowl, add the eggs, milk, and salt and mix to combine.
• Remove the paper from the prosciutto and stack the slices. Chop the prosciutto into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Add the butter to an oven-safe 10-inch pan over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the olive oil and reduce the heat to medium-low.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pan. When the eggs start to set, about 10 minutes, add the Parmesan and prosciutto. Stir gently and dot the top with the goat cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the frittata is set and the goat cheese is melted, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from the sides of the pan. Slide it onto a cutting board and cut into wedges. Arrange the wedges on a serving platter and top with caramelized onions and thyme leaves before serving.
