Spring Vegetable Frittata For Mother Food

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat oil in heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook leek with a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally, until leeks soften and start to turn translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add jalapeno and zucchini; season with pinch of salt. Cook until zucchini start to get tender and pale green, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until bright green, about 1 minute. Add spinach and another pinch of salt, cooking until wilted, 1 minute. Stir in cooked potatoes and heat through, about 5 minutes.
• Crack 12 large eggs into a bowl. Add cayenne, salt, and pepper. Whisk for at least 30 seconds. Pour eggs into over vegetables in skillet over medium heat. Add 3 ounces of crumbled goat cheese; stir lightly until evenly distributed. Top with remaining cheese. Remove from heat.
• Bake in preheated oven until eggs are set, 12 to 15 minutes. When nearly set, turn on broiler. Broil frittata until top browns, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool slightly; serve warm.

FRITTATA WITH SPRING VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the cream, salt, pepper, hot sauce and Worcestershire and whisk to blend.
• Heat a 10 to 12-inch cast iron (or other heavy-bottomed) skillet and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke ever so slightly, add the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until some of the liquid starts to escape.
• Stir in the scallions, arugula and cheeses into the egg mixture and pour into the skillet over the asparagus.
• Place the skillet on the center rack of the oven and cook until firm around the edges but still somewhat loose in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to "rest" for a few minutes before serving. Toss the tomatoes with salt, pepper, the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice and sprinkle them on top of the frittata just before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Toss together sunchokes, bay leaves, 3 tablespoons oil, and garlic on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast until tender and dark golden-brown around edges, 15 to 20 minutes. Discard bay leaves. (Leave oven on.)
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add Swiss chard, and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain; let cool slightly. Squeeze out excess liquid.
• Whisk eggs with 1/4 teaspoon pepper, the Parmesan, and scallions in a bowl. Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add sunchokes and Swiss chard, and spread on bottom of skillet. Add egg mixture, filling in spaces between vegetables. Swirl to distribute (eggs will not cover vegetables completely). Cook, shaking skillet occasionally, until sides are set, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer to oven, and bake until puffed and center is set, 4 to 5 minutes. Place a large platter over skillet, and invert. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
