KITCHEN SINK FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch cast-iron or ovensafe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and heat until warm. Add the steak, roasted red peppers and asparagus and heat until warmed through, 1 to 2 minutes, mixing the ingredients in the skillet until evenly distributed.
• Whisk together the milk and eggs in a medium bowl to combine and add some salt and pepper.

• Drain off all the grease and place in a 9x9 oven-safe casserole. Beat the eggs and pepper and stir in the cheese.
• Spread the meat mixture evenly and pour the egg mixture over the meat.
• Bake 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are mostly firm, but still soft in the center.

HOW TO MAKE FRITTATAS (STOVETOP OR BAKED)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit for the traditional stovetop method, or 350 degrees for the baked methods (casserole or mini/muffins).
• Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl. Add your dairy of choice and the salt. Whisk just until the egg yolks and whites are blended. Whisk in all or half of the cheese (you can reserve the other half for topping the frittata before baking, if desired). Set the mixture aside.
• In a 12-inch cast iron skillet (or any other large skillet that's oven safe), warm the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering. Add the vegetables, starting with chopped onions or other dense vegetables. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, then add any softer vegetables such as zucchini. Cook until those vegetables are tender, then add any garlic or greens, and cook until fragrant or wilted. Season with salt, to taste.
• Whisk the eggs once more and pour the mixture over the vegetables. Stir with a spatula briefly to combine and distribute the mixture evenly across the pan. If you reserved any cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittata now.
• Once the outside edge of the frittata turns lighter in color (about 30 seconds to 1 minute), carefully transfer the frittata to the oven. Bake for 7 to 14 minutes (keep an eye on it), until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittata jiggles just a bit when you give it a gentle shimmy. Remove the frittata from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool. Garnish with herbs, slice with a sharp knife, and serve.
• Let the cooked vegetables cool for a few minutes. In the meantime, grease a 9 by 13-inch pan with butter, which works better than cooking spray. Stir the lightly cooled veggies into the egg mixture, then pour it all into the pan. If you reserved any cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittata now.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (keep an eye on it), until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittata jiggles just a bit when you give it a gentle shimmy. Remove the frittata from the oven and place it on a cooling rack to cool. Garnish with herbs, slice with a sharp knife, and serve.
• Let the cooked vegetables cool for a few minutes, then stir them into the egg mixture. Grease 18 muffin cups (I used two muffin pans for this), then fill the cups evenly with a scant 1/3 cup of the mixture. If you reserved any cheese, sprinkle it on top of the frittatas now.
• Bake for 13 to 17 minutes, until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittatas jiggle just a bit when you give the pan a gentle shimmy (this happens quickly so keep an eye on them; my pan with only 6 muffins finished sooner). Remove the pans from the oven and place them on a cooling rack to cool. Garnish with herbs, and serve.

BASIC FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to broil.
• Whisk eggs, water, herbs, salt and pepper in medium bowl. Set aside.
• Lightly spray 10-inch (25 cm) non-stick ovenproof skillet or cast iron pan with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium heat. Add filling ingredients, sauté or heat, stirring frequently.
• Pour in egg mixture. As eggs set around edge of skillet, using spatula, gently lift cooked portions to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cook until bottom is set and top is almost set, about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle cheese over top. Place skillet under preheated broiler for 2 or 3 minutes to melt cheese and puff up frittata or cover with lid and cook for a couple minutes on stovetop.
• Loosen around edge of frittata. Cut into wedges and serve.

ITALIAN SKILLET FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oil in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add potatoes and mixed vegetables; stir. Cook 5 min. or until potatoes are browned, stirring occasionally.
• Whisk eggs and milk until blended. Pour evenly over vegetable mixture; cover.
• Cook on medium-low heat 10 to 12 min. or until center is set. Remove from heat; sprinkle with cheese. Let stand, covered, 5 min. before cutting into wedges to serve.

SUNDAY FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 F.Beat together the eggs with the salt and pepper (do not over-beat; just mix until the eggs mostly come together.) Stir in the grated cheeses and set aside. (Stir in hot sauce if using.)In a large oven-proof non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook for several minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are soft and golden brown. Add diced potato, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and stir to cook with the onion for a couple of minutes. Add the kale and stir to cook about 1 minute. Finally, add the roasted red peppers and olives and stir until everything is hot.Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed across the bottom of the skillet, then pour in the egg mixture so that it evenly coats everything. Let it sit on the burner for 30-45 seconds to set the edges, then put the skillet in the oven.Watch the frittata as it cooks. Let it cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the eggs are set but remove it before the eggs brown very much on top. Slide the frittata out of the skillet and onto a cutting board. With a long serrated knife, slice it into wedges and serve warm with fresh fruit. NOTE: Use any ingredients you want! Mushrooms, leeks, different cheeses, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, bell peppers. Have fun!

BREAKFAST SKILLET FRITTATA

Steps:

• Brown and drain sausage. Set aside. You can use any sausage. Diced smoked sausage is a great substitute.
• Lightly brown potatoes in hot oil in a 10" skillet.
• Add onion and diced peppers, and cook till onions are translucent.
• Salt and pepper to taste.
• Note: In place of the potatoes, onions, and peppers, you can use Orida's O'Brian style potatoes. Prepare according to instructions.
• Lightly scramble eggs in a bowl with half and half, hot sauce and baking soda.
• Spread potato and sausage out evenly in skillet and pour eggs over. Tilt and rotate the pan to ensure even coverage of the eggs.
• Add diced pepper jack cheese. You can use any cheese you have on hand. I've made this with mozzarella, provolone, gouda, you name it.
• Salt and pepper mixture.
• Cover with grated cheddar cheese. Again, you can use what ever is on hand, but I have found the sharp cheddar is best here.
• Cook on the stove until bottom is set.
• Transfer to pre heated oven (350 degrees). Bake for 10 minutes.
• Switch to broil on medium until the cheese is just starting to brown and the eggs are set.
• Let stand for 15 minutes, then slice and serve.

FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until foamy.
• Melt butter in a cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the onion and potatoes and cook thoroughly. Pour the eggs over the mixture.
• Pull the edges away from the sides of the pan with a spatula so the eggs flow to the bottom of the pan. When the frittata is half set, add the ham.
• Transfer the pan to the heated oven. Bake for 10 minutes until puffed and golden. Top with sour cream, salsa, and chives before serving.
