Spring Pea Frittata Food

SPRING PEA FRITTATA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
• 2. Heat the oil in a large ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat. Add the leek and sauté until soft, then add the peas and cook for 2 to 3 minutes more.
• 3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water.
• 4. Add the eggs and half the mint to the pan, season with the salt and pepper, and cook, lifting the edges with a spatula to allow the uncooked eggs to flow to the bottom. When the frittata is partly cooked (7 to 10 minutes), sprinkle on the ricotta and transfer the pan to the oven.
• 5. Bake until puffed, golden, and set, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and allow to cool slightly. Garnish with the remaining mint to taste and serve.

SPRING FRITTATA

Steps:

• Soak 1/2 cup stale bread cubes in 1/2 cup milk; mix with 8 beaten eggs. Add 3/4 cup ricotta, 1 teaspoon chopped thyme, and salt and pepper.

SPRING VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Heat the oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and saute for 3-4 minutes.
• Then add the asparagus and saute another 1-2 minutes.
• Then add the frozen peas, baby spinach, salt and pepper, and saute another 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Remove 1/3 of the vegetables to a plate (optional, but it makes for a prettier frittata), and make sure the remaining half of vegetables is evenly spread out.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the half of the vegetables in the pan. Cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes.
• Add the remaining vegetables on top, then dollop with the goat cheese. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
• Garnish with additional herbs before serving.

SMOKED SALMON-SPRING PEA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch oven-safe nonstick skillet set over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and lightly golden, 7 to 10 minutes. Whisk the milk, salt and eggs together in medium bowl. Add the egg mixture to the skillet, then add the peas. Add the black pepper and cook the frittata until the edges begin to set and turn pale yellow, 5 to 7 minutes. Place the salmon pieces in a single layer on the eggs. Place the skillet in the middle of the oven and bake until the center is set and no longer jiggles, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Cut the frittata into six wedges and garnish with the chopped parsley.

PEA, FETA & SUMMER HERB FRITTATA

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pan of salted water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 12-15 mins or until tender. Drain, leave to cool, then thinly slice. Whisk the eggs and egg whites with the milk, garlic, mustard and herbs, and season generously. Add the cream cheese and fold through just a little so that some lumps remain. Heat the grill to medium-high.
• Heat the oil over a medium heat in a 23cm non-stick frying pan. Add the potatoes and fry for about 5 mins, until they start to turn golden. Add the courgette and chilli flakes, and continue to fry for a couple mins more. Stir through the petit pois.
• Tip the egg mixture into the pan and scatter with the feta and tomatoes. Cook over a gentle heat for 10-12 mins until almost set. Pop the pan under the grill and cook for 3-5 mins until puffed, golden and cooked through. Cut into wedges and serve with a crisp green salad.

• Cook's Notes: If your skillet is larger or smaller than 12 inches, adjust the cooking time accordingly. Larger skillets will require less cooking time and the frittata will be flatter.
