Spinach Or Swiss Chard Frittata Parmesan Recipes

SPINACH-PARMESAN FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Heat dressing in large skillet on medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until tender. Stir in spinach, herbs and garlic. Cook and stir 1 min. or until spinach is wilted.
• Beat eggs with whisk in large bowl. Stir in cheese, pepper and spinach mixture. Spoon into 4 (5-oz.) ramekins sprayed with cooking spray. Sprinkle with shallots.
• Bake 25 to 30 min. or until golden brown.

SAUTEED SWISS CHARD WITH PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Melt butter and olive oil together in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the garlic and onion, and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the chard stems and the white wine. Simmer until the stems begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in the chard leaves, and cook until wilted. Finally, stir in lemon juice and Parmesan cheese; season to taste with salt if needed.

SPINACH FRITTATA WITH PARMESAN CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat the oils in an omelette pan that is ovenproof. Add the onion and cook until clear and tender.
• In a bowl, combine the eggs with half of the cheese, the oregano, pepper and spinach and mix well.
• Pour this egg mixture into the skillet with the onion and cook over very low heat until the edges are lightly browned.
• Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top and place under the broiler until the cheese is lightly browned.
• To serve, cut into wedges.

SPINACH OR SWISS CHARD FRITTATA PARMESAN

Steps:

• Steam the spinach or chard in a large covered pot with only the water clinging to the leaves, until just wilted down. This will take about a minute for the spinach and 3 to 4 minutes for the chard; drain. When cool enough to handle, chop the leaves.
• Combine the eggs, spinach or chard, and Parmesan in a mixing bowl and stir together. Add a little salt and pepper and stir again.
• Heat just enough oil to coat the bottom of a 9-inch nonstick skillet. When hot, pour in the egg mixture. Cover and cook over medium heat until the bottom is golden brown and the top is fairly set, about 5 minutes.
• Slide the frittata out onto a plate. Invert the skillet over the plate and quickly flip over so that the frittata goes back into the skillet, uncooked side down. Remove the plate, return the skillet to the heat, and cook the second side, uncovered, until golden brown.
• Slide the frittata back onto the plate, let cool for a few minutes, cut into wedges, and serve.

SWISS CHARD AND MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Coat a 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet with olive oil cooking spray, and place over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion, and saute until mushrooms start to release their juices, stirring frequently. Reduce heat to medium low, and cook until mushrooms are soft and golden brown. Add Swiss chard, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper, and cook until wilted and all the liquid has evaporated. Transfer to a baking pan lined with paper towels, and set aside.
• Combine eggs, egg whites, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and whip until soft peaks form, 4 to 5 minutes.

Add two-thirds of the egg mixture to the pan, layer with reserved vegetables, and top with remaining egg mixture. Sprinkle top with Parmesan, and transfer pan to oven. Cook until eggs are set and frittata is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Run a spatula around edges of pan to loosen frittata if necessary; transfer to a serving plate. Cut into wedges, garnish with thyme sprigs, and serve.
