Fresh Mozzarella Frittata Recipes

MOZZARELLA FRITTA

Steps:

• Slice mozzarella 1/4 inch thick, dredge in flour, egg, and bread crumbs, seasoned with salt and pepper. Heat a medium size skillet, add oil, pan-fry mozzarella slices, on medium high heat, for 1 minute, quickly to crispen the crust, without melting the cheese. Remove to a serving plate, deglaze the pan, with wine, add capers, take off heat and swirl with butter, spoon over slices of fried cheese. Garnish with fresh parsley.

OVEN ROASTED TOMATO AND MOZZARELLA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil.
• Toss the tomatoes with 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, the dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Arrange the tomatoes on the prepared baking pan cut-side up and roast until they are slightly shrunken and caramelized, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then remove the skins and cut each tomato in half lengthwise.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk the eggs, half-and-half and 1 teaspoon salt together in a bowl. Heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Grate the garlic over the oil and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the eggs and distribute the tomatoes and the mozzarella evenly. Cook on the stove until the bottom and edges are just starting to set, about 2 minutes.
• Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until just set in the center, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Let stand at least 5 minutes. The frittata can be served warm or at room temperature.

GREENS FRITTATA WITH MOZZARELLA AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Put the greens in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, season with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Toss the greens with your hands to coat the leaves.
• In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Add the red pepper flakes and parmigiano. Pour the egg mixture over the greens and stir them together.
• Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or 9-inch omelet pan on medium-high. Pour in a film of olive oil and let it heat. Add the frittata mixture and let it cook briskly, lifting the edges with a spatula and tilting the pan to help the bottom set. Reduce the heat to prevent the bottom from over-browning and quickly arrange the sliced mozzarella and prosciutto over the surface. Cook for about 3 minutes.
• Place a large plate over the pan, then carefully invert the frittata onto the plate. Return the pan to the heat, add a touch more olive oil, and slip the frittata back into the pan, uncooked side down, for another 2 minutes. (Alternatively, leave the frittata in the pan and finish under a broiler). Slide the frittata onto a platter. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

FRESH MOZZARELLA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler.
• Heat oil in a large broiler-safe nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and zucchini and cook, stirring frequently until soft, about 5 minutes.
• In a bowl, whisk eggs, salt and pepper together. Pour over the vegetables in the pan. Cook about 2 minutes until nearly set. While cooking lift the edges to allow uncooked egg from the middle to go underneath. Top with Fresh Mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes, place under broiler until the eggs are slightly browned, about 2 minutes. Let stand for 3 minutes. Top with basil. Slice and serve.

PROSCIUTTO-AND FRESH MOZZARELLA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• IN a large bowl, beat the eggs. Beat in the milk, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, parsley, and basil. Season with salt and pepper.
• In an 8" nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil. Add the shallots, and cook over moderate heat until softened, about 7 minutes. Add the tomato and prosciutto and cook, stirring, until warm, about 2 minutes. Pour in the eggs and cook until beginning to set on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Poke the mozzarella cubes into the eggs. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake frittata for about 20 minutes, until just firm when lightly pressed.
• Set the skillet over high heat and shake the frittata until releases, about 10 seconds. Plac a large, flat plate over the skillet and carefully invenrt the frittata onto it. Let cool for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.
