Baked Spinach Mushroom Ricotta Frittata Recipes

MUSHROOM AND SPINACH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy 10 or 12-inch nonstick skillet and add the mushrooms. Cook, stirring or tossing often, until they begin to sweat and soften, 3 to 5 minutes. Add salt, pepper and the garlic, and stir together until the garlic is fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the spinach, a handful at a time and stir until wilted. Turn up the heat and let any excess liquid evaporate from the pan, then remove from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl (you can do this while the mushrooms are cooking). Stir in salt and pepper to taste, the milk, and the mushroom and spinach mixture. Add the Parmesan if desired.
• Heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat in the skillet until it feels hot when you hold your hand about 1 inch above it. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping all of it in with a rubber spatula. Swirl 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. Once a few layers of egg have cooked turn the heat down to low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet), and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden. The eggs should be just about set though there will be a layer on the top that is not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan and place under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for 1 to 2 minutes, until the top sets, 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 5 minutes and for up to 15. It can be a little runny in the middle if you like it that way. Loosen the edges with a spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges. Serve hot, warm, room temperature, or cold.

BAKED SPINACH, MUSHROOM & RICOTTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan, and cook the onion, garlic and mushrooms over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent. During the last minute add the spinach to the pan.
• Meanwhile, in a bowl lightly beat the eggs with milk and some black pepper.
• In a separate bowl, combine the salt and ricotta.
• Transfer the onions to an oven-proof dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the onions, and dollop the ricotta mixture on top, ensuring that all areas of the frittata get some ricotta.
• Bake in the oven for around 20 minutes at 375°F, until the eggs have set.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM RICOTTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a 10-inch non-stick skillet heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat until melted. Add in onions, a pinch of salt and pepper and sauté until onions are just tender.
• Increase heat to medium and add in mushrooms, toss in the butter and cook for 5 minutes until caramelized.
• Decrease the heat to low and add in the spinach, sprinkle with just a small pinch of salt and pepper and cook until wilted but still a bit firm.
• Meanwhile, beat eggs with pinch of salt and pepper. Pour over slightly wilted spinach. Drop in 5 tablespoons of ricotta and sprinkle with cubed cheese. Cover and continue to cook (on low) until eggs are set and cheese has melted, about 8-10 minutes.
• Remove and let cool for a few minutes before sliding frittata out of the pan and onto a cutting board. Sprinkle with coarse black pepper, red pepper flakes and torn fresh basil leaves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the oil in a 2-quart baking dish or a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Rub the oil over the sides of the pan, and place in the oven. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, ricotta, mint and garlic. Remove the baking dish from the oven and scrape in the egg mixture. Return to the oven, and bake 30 minutes or until lightly colored on the top and set.
• Remove from the heat, and allow to sit for 10 minutes or longer before serving. Serve hot, or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.

• 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.
