Ricotta Tomato Spinach Frittata Food

RICOTTA, TOMATO & SPINACH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan and cook the onion for 5-6 mins until softened and lightly golden. Add the tomatoes and toss for 1 min to soften.
• Remove from the heat, add the spinach leaves and basil, and toss together to wilt a little. Transfer all the ingredients to a greased 30cm x 20cm rectangular baking tin. Take small scoops of the ricotta and dot over the vegetables.
• Season the eggs and beat well, then pour over the vegetables and cheese. Cook in the oven for 20-25 mins until pale golden and set. Serve with salad.

RICOTTA AND SPINACH FRITTATA WITH MINT

Steps:

• Steam the spinach above 1 inch of boiling water just until it wilts, about two minutes. Rinse with cold water, squeeze out excess moisture and chop fine.
• In a medium bowl, beat together the eggs, salt, pepper, ricotta, garlic, spinach and mint.
• Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt 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.
• Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that the bottom doesn't burn. It should turn a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes, 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 five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

• Whisk together the eggs and ricotta cheese.
• Pour egg mixture over cooked vegetables, cook until almost set, lifting edges frequently to allow uncooked portions to run to bottom of pan.
• When almost set, reduce heat, cover and allow to cook covered for 1 to 2 minutes.
• Invert onto a large plate and slip back into pan to finish cooking, top with grated parmesan cheese.
• Cut in half and serve on warmed plates.

SPINACH RICOTTA QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees Farenheit.
• Roll the dough out on a well-floured work surface until it's approximately 11 to 12-inches in diameter.
• Transfer it to a 9-inch metal or glass pie dish. Using your fingers, press it firmly into the bottom and sides of the pie plate. Trim off any excess, leaving about 1/2-inch overhanging. Then fold/crimp the overhanging dough.
• Prick the bottom of the pie crust with the tines of a fork. Transfer the pie crust to your pre-heated oven and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, until par-baked.
• Meanwhile in a large mixing bowl combine eggs with spinach, milk, 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, basil and salt; mix well.
• Pour mixture into the par-baked pie crust.
• In a small bowl combine ricotta with mozzarella and remaining parmesan.
• Dollop the ricotta all around and top and place tomatoes around the cheese.
• Place foil on the edges of the crust to prevent them from burning.
• Place quiche on cookie sheet and bake on the middle oven rack for 50 to 55 minutes, or until top is browned and a knife inserted in center comes out clean.
• Let cool before serving.

POTATO FRITTATA WITH SPINACH AND RICOTTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 (180 C) degrees.
• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Add the potatoes and cook 15-20 minutes, until just tender when poked with a fork. Drain, and slice into 1/2-inch wide pieces when they're cool enough to handle.
• Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl and add the yogurt, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese and 1 teaspoon salt. Whisk together until well blended.
• Heat the oil in a 10-inch cast iron or oven-proof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add the potatoes and spinach. Stir gently to avoid crushing the potatoes, and cook until the greens start to wilt, about 2 minutes.
• Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Use a spoon to nudge the egg evenly into the vegetables, then cook until the eggs are set on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat.
• Dot the ricotta cheese in blobs evenly over the top of the frittata and sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan. Bake 15-20 minutes, until the eggs are set and no longer runny on top.
• Cool 10 minutes before slicing. Frittata can be served warm or at room temperature.

RICOTTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• 2. Coat the bottom of a large ovenproof skillet with the olive oil. Add the onions, marjoram, and salt and pepper to taste and sauté over medium heat until the onions are translucent and very aromatic, 5 to 7 minutes.
• 3. In a bowl combine the eggs, ricotta, and Parmesan and stir until smooth and homogeneous.
• 4. Add the egg mixture to the sautéed onions and stir to incorporate the onions. Cook the frittata on the stovetop until the eggs start to set, then transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until firm.
• 5. Turn the frittata out of the pan onto a large serving plate. Drizzle with olive oil if desired and serve immediately. Or let cool and serve at room temperature.
