Grilled Onion Frittata Recipes

ONION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Whisk first 7 ingredients in a medium bowl; set aside. Heat oil in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion; saute until soft, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to low. Stir in egg mixture. Spoon dollops of ricotta evenly over.
• Cook until frittata begins to set, about 2 minutes. Place in oven; bake until just set, 7-9 minutes. Slide the frittata onto a platter. Cut into wedges; serve hot or at room temperature.

ONION FRITTATA ROLLS WITH BACON AND ROASTED RED PEPPER

Steps:

• Place the butter in a flameproof nonstick skillet, 5 inches in diameter. Melt butter over moderately high heat, then add the onions. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and quite soft, about 10 minutes.
• Add beaten eggs to pan. Cook slowly for 10 minutes, or until the base of the frittata is well set. Pass the frittata under a broiler, briefly to set the eggs on top. Slide it out from pan onto plate or countertop, and let cool for 15 minutes.
• Cut the frittata into 6 portions that fit snugly on the rolls. Place each portion on half of a roll. Top each with 2 slices of bacon and a third of fresh roasted red pepper. Close sandwiches with top of rolls.

FRITTATA WITH TOMATOES, ONIONS AND BASIL

Steps:

• Sweat the onions in the oil until just browning. Chop the tomatoes and add to the onions with salt to taste. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Press the vegetables to the side of the pan and remove to a bowl with a slotted spoon. Leave to cool.
• Beat the eggs until well mixed but not frothy. Add the vegetables, cheese, a good quantity of pepper and salt to taste. Tear up the basil leaves, add and stir everything together. Melt the butter in a 12 inch nonstick frying ban until just foaming. Pour in the egg mixture, lower the heat and cook for 15 minutes until the eggs are set but the top is still a bit runny. Then put the pan under the broiler for 30 seconds.
• Loosen the frittata with a pliable spatula and slide onto a suitable dish. Cut into wedges when cooled. It can be eaten warm with a salad or cold on a hunk of bread.

ONION AND THYME FRITTATA

Steps:

• Place the chopped onions in a bowl, cover with water and add the vinegar. Soak for one hour or longer. Drain, rinse and dry on paper towels. (Note: This step is optional, but the onions will be milder if you do it.)
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Add the onions. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about five minutes. Add a generous pinch of salt, the garlic and the thyme. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the onions are lightly colored but not browned, about five more minutes. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool slightly.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, milk and onions. Clean and dry the pan. Return to the burner, and set on medium-high. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil in the skillet. Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Tilt 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.
• Turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. From time to time, remove the lid, tilt the pan and loosen the bottom of the frittata with a wooden spatula so that it doesn't burn. It should turn a golden color. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Uncover the pan, and place it under the broiler, not too close to the heat, for one to three minutes. Watch 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, and shake the pan to make sure the frittata isn't sticking. Allow it to cool for at least five minutes and for as long as 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large round platter. Cut into wedges or into smaller bite-size diamonds. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold.

GRILLED POBLANO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Make the salsa: Place the poblano peppers and the tomatoes over a medium gas flame, either on a grill or right on the burners. Rotate the vegetables every few minutes so that the skins don't completely blacken. Remove the vegetables once their skins are blistering and just partially charred. Let the vegetables cool a bit. Remove the skins of the vegetables with a paring knife. Cut the poblanos into 1/2 inch wide strips, and set them aside.
• Cut the tomatoes into 1/2 inch cubes, and put them into a bowl. Add onions, lime juice, cilantro, jalapeno, salt and pepper to the bowl. Mix well. Chill the salsa if you won't be making the frittata within the next few hours.
• Make the chips: Stack the tortillas and cut the stack into six wedges. Spread the pieces on a baking sheet, lightly salt them and bake them for 10 minutes or until they are crisp. Remove the chips from the oven but keep the oven on.
• Make the frittata: Heat the olive oil in a 10 to 12 inch non-stick oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs, and stir them for the first minute of cooking with a plastic spatula. Let the eggs rest for a few seconds, then push the frittata to one side of the pan so the uncooked egg runs underneath.
• When the frittata is still moist but no longer runny, sprinkle it with salt, pepper and the shredded Jack cheese.
• Place the poblano strips in a star shape on top of the cheese. Bake the frittata in the oven for 3 to 4 minutes or until it is just set. Remove the skillet from the oven and stick the tortilla chips around the edge of the frittata. Take the skillet to the table and cut the frittata into wedges. Serve with the salsa.

Steps:

• Peel and cut up the potatoes and carrots into bite-size chunks. Chop up onion.
• Combine all veggies in tin foil or foil baking bag. Season with desired amount of seasoning salt and top with butter. Seal foil well (you may need more than one bag, so the vegetables are done evenly).
• Grill until potatoes and carrots are soft, about 40 minutes (flip bags at least 3-4 times during grilling). Remove from grill and place the veggies in a large bowl and add the sour cream, mixing well.

GOAT'S CHEESE & CARAMELISED ONION FRITTATA WITH A LEMONY GREEN SALAD

Steps:

• Heat the grill to high. Put the oil and onions in a medium-to-large ovenproof non-stick frying pan and sweat on a low-medium heat with the lid on for about 10 mins, or until they begin to soften and brown a little at the edges. Reduce heat to low, add the honey, stir well, then leave to bubble for 1 min or so. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into a bowl and beat with a fork, then add some black pepper.
• Pour the eggs into the pan and cook for 5-6 mins until almost set. Break the goat's cheese into large chunks and dot over the top. Place the frittata under the hot grill for 3 mins, then shake to check that the egg is set firm and the cheese is soft and bubbling. Pop it back under the grill for 1 min or so more if needed.
• Mix the salad leaves and beetroot in a large bowl. Dress with the lemon juice and toss. Cut the frittata into quarters - cool then chill half for Frittata and salad (see 'goes well with'). Serve the rest warm with the salad on the side.
