Pan Fried Potato And Fontina Frittata Recipes

POTATO PANCETTA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a medium (10-inch) oven-proof omelet pan over medium-low heat, cook the pancetta in the olive oil for 5 to 10 minutes, until browned. Remove the pancetta from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the pan (don't wipe it out). Add the potatoes and fry them for 6 to 8 minutes, until cooked through and lightly browned, turning occasionally. Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in a small dish in the microwave.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl, then stir in the ricotta, Gruyere, melted butter, and milk. Combine the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper and stir into the egg mixture. Add the basil.
• Put the pancetta back into the pan with the potatoes and pour in the egg mixture. Place the pan in the center of the oven and bake for 50-55 minutes, until the frittata is browned and puffed and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve hot.

FRITTATA WITH ASPARAGUS, TOMATO, AND FONTINA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Set aside. Heat the oil and butter in a 9 1/2-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the tomato and a pinch of salt and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus mixture and cook for a few minutes until the eggs start to set. Sprinkle with cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 2 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown on top, about 5 minutes. Let the frittata stand 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a plate.

NAN'S POTATO AND EGG FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Spread potato slices across bottom of the pan and cook, turning once, until golden on both sides. Remove slices from pan and drain.
• When all potato slices have been cooked, return them to the pan. Turn heat to high. Pour on the beaten eggs and season with salt and pepper. Tilt the pan so that the eggs flow to the bottom of the pan. Turn heat to medium low. Cover pan with a plate and flip pan so that frittata is turned out onto plate. Slide the frittata back into the pan with the uncooked side down. Cover and let cook another 2 minutes.
• When frittata is finished cooking, remove it from the pan and drain briefly on paper towels before serving.

POTATO AND ONION FRITTATA

Steps:

• Steam the potatoes until tender, about eight minutes, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a heavy 10-inch nonstick skillet, and add the onions and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until tender but not browned, about five minutes. Add the potatoes to the pan, and toss together gently so that the potatoes don't break apart. Season generously with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper. Stir in the potatoes and onions.
• Return the pan to the stove, and heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Drizzle in a drop of egg; when it sizzles and cooks at once, scrape the eggs and vegetables back into the pan. Shake the pan gently while you lift the edges of the frittata, and tilt the pan to let egg run underneath and set. When the bottom of the frittata has set, turn the heat to low and cover the pan. Cook gently for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the broiler.
• Uncover the pan, and slide under the broiler for a minute or two (watch closely) to set the top. Remove from the heat. Let the tortilla set in the pan for a few minutes, then slide out onto a serving plate. Allow to cool to room temperature, and cut into small diamonds to serve as hors d'oeuvres.
