Vegetable Frittata With Pancetta And Cheese Recipes

EASY VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with cream, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, pepper, and the cheese.
• Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet (non-stick or a well-seasoned cast iron pan are best).
• Add the zucchini, onions, and bell pepper. Cook, stirring every once and a while until the onions are soft and the zucchini and bell peppers have a little color; about 5 minutes.
• Season with 1/4 teaspoon of salt then add the spinach. Toss the spinach around the pan until it's ever so slightly wilted and bright green.
• Turn the heat to low. Give the egg mixture another whisk then pour into the skillet. Shimmy the pan back and forth a bit to distribute the egg around the vegetables.
• When the edges of the frittata begin to set and turn lighter in color, slide the skillet into the preheated oven; about 1 minute.
• Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, until the eggs are barely set and the frittata trembles - like jello - when you give the pan a gentle shake. Keep an eye on it as it bakes and check the frittata a few minutes before it's supposed to be done. You are not looking for a brown top, just one that looks cooked and barely set.
• Serve the frittata hot or cold with fresh herbs on top.

4-CHEESE GARDEN VEGETABLE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Tightly wrap the bottom and sides of two 6-inch round springform pans with aluminum foil and transfer to a baking sheet.
• For the cheese filling: Beat the cream cheese and goat cheese in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, add the chives and parsley and mix until just combined. Cover and chill until firm and cold, at least 1 hour and up to overnight. (You want the cheese to be cold enough so it doesn't seep out the sides when the frittatas are stacked on top of each other).
• For the asparagus frittata: Meanwhile, bring a medium pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Fill a large bowl with ice water.
• Trim and discard the woody stems from the asparagus. Cut 3 inches off the top of each asparagus spear (measuring from the tip) and set aside. Thinly slice the remaining parts of the stalks. Set aside 1/2 cup and reserve the remaining asparagus for another use.
• Add the 3-inch asparagus pieces to the boiling water and cook until tender but still very bright green, about 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to immediately transfer them to the ice water to stop the cooking. Remove them to a cutting board and slice each stalk lengthwise down the middle. Reserve for decorating.
• Whisk the heavy cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, dill, mint, eggs, scallions, reserved 1/2 cup asparagus, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl. Pour into one of the prepared springform pans. Reserve the bowl for the second frittata.
• For the spinach frittata: Whisk the heavy cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, spinach, chives, parsley, eggs, scallions, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in the reserved bowl until well combined. Pour the mixture into the other prepared springform pan and scatter the tomatoes over top.
• Bake both frittatas until they are set but still have a very slight jiggle in the center, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• To assemble: Release the latches of the springform pans, remove the plates from the bottom of each and place the asparagus frittata on a cake stand or serving platter. Spread 3/4 cup of the cold cheese mixture over top of the frittata. Top with the spinach frittata. Spread the rest of the cheese mixture around the perimeter of the frittatas as if you were frosting a cake. Press the asparagus pieces around the frittatas with the flat sides touching the cheese and the pointed tips facing up to look like grass. (The asparagus should be touching, side by side, so that no cheese is visible.). Refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. Slice and serve cold.

VEGETABLE FRITTATA WITH PANCETTA AND CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F. Wash and dry all produce.
• Cut 1/4 bell pepper into small pieces. Then cut broccoli into small bite sized pieces roughly the same size as the bell pepper pieces. Lastly quarter cherry tomatoes. Cube pancetta and grate cheese (if necessary).
• In a medium sized glass measuring cup/bowl, crack 6 eggs. Then, mix in all of the vegetables, 1/4 cup of cubed pancetta and 1/3 cup of shredded double cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour 1 tbsp of avocado oil (or preferred oil) into each cast iron skillet and spread until the entire inner surface is coated.
• Take your egg mixture and pour even amounts into each cast iron skillet. Place the skillets in the oven on the middle rack and cook for 20 minutes. Making sure that when you move the pan, the eggs are solidified and not jiggly.
• Let cool for 5 minutes. Be careful not to grab the handle of the cast iron skillet as it will be hot for a very long time.
• ENJOY!

VEGETABLES AND CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Beat eggs, salt and pepper in medium bowl with fork or wire whisk until well mixed. Stir in cheese; set aside.
• Melt butter in ovenproof 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook bell peppers and onion in butter, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender. Pour egg mixture over pepper mixture. Cover and cook over medium-low heat 8 to 10 minutes or until eggs are set and light brown on bottom.
• Set oven control to broil. Broil frittata with top 4 to 6 inches from heat about 2 minutes or until golden brown. Cut into wedges.

VEGETABLE FRITTATA WITH PANCETTA

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a medium bowl, combine eggs, sour cream, herbal seasoning, paprika, salt and pepper; whisk until well blended. Add 1/2 of the feta cheese, whisk and set aside.
• 2. In a small, oven-proof skillet over medium heat, spritz with cooking spray and add pancetta. Cook until it starts to crisp; then set aside onto paper toweling.
• 3. Add onion to skillet and sauté for a couple minutes until starting to soften. Add peppers and zucchini and cook for 3 - 5 minutes. Return pancetta then add garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Do not let garlic brown. Add potatoes and a few splashes of hot sauce, if desired. Stir everything together gently and cook until potatoes are heated through, about 2 minutes.
• 4. Lower heat and pour egg mixture into skillet. Stir everything together. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and sprinkle with additional paprika. (Check out NOTE below!!)
• 5. In a minute or two, when edges appear to become cooked, transfer skillet to oven. Bake until eggs fluff up and center is not completely set - about 8 minutes.
• 6. Broil for 1 - 2 minutes until cheese is melty. Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes to firm up If you did not add hot sauce, have it available for individual use.
• 7. NOTE: If you are making this in a non-oven safe container, it will need to cook longer! I used a glass casserole recently and it needed about 20 minutes.
