Wild Mushroom Frittata With Fresh Mint Recipes

WILD MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet, with oven safe handle over medium to medium-high heat. Wrapping a rubber handle in foil will allow the pan to transfer to oven as well.
• To hot pan, add oil and mushrooms. Season mushrooms with thyme, salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 5 minutes until all of the veggies are tender. Beat eggs with salt and pepper, dash of half-and-half, lemon zest, scallions and hot sauce. Pour over the mushrooms. Lift and settle eggs in the pan as they brown on the bottom. When the eggs are set but remain uncooked on top, transfer to oven for 7 or 8 minutes, until frittata is golden brown and puffy. Sprinkle the frittata with cheese and return to the oven for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Serve frittata from the hot pan and cut into 6 wedges at the table.

WILD MUSHROOM FRITTATA WITH FRESH MINT

Steps:

• Position oven rack 8 inches from broiler heat source; preheat broiler. Heat oil in 10-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and sauté just until golden, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in garlic. Cook until mushrooms are tender, about 6 minutes longer.
• Whisk eggs, grated Parmesan, fresh mint and 1/2 teaspoon salt in medium bowl to blend. Pour egg mixture evenly over mushrooms in skillet. Cook mixture until sides and bottom are set but center is still loose, running rubber spatula around sides of skillet occasionally but not allowing uncooked mixture to run under cooked eggs, about 3 minutes. Broil until mixture is just set on top and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Cool 2 minutes. Run spatula around sides of skillet to loosen frittata. Place plate atop skillet. Invert frittata onto plate. Cool frittata to room temperature. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Cover frittata and store at room temperature.) Cut frittata into wedges and serve.

SAUSAGE AND WILD MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12- to 14-inch nonstick ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until it starts to smoke. Add the shallots, mushrooms and thyme and cook until the mushrooms start to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage starts to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Transfer the mushroom and sausage mixture to a paper towel-lined plate. Wipe the pan clean with a paper towel.
• Place the pan back on the stove over medium heat and add the remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Whisk the eggs in a bowl with the cream. Once the oil in the pan starts to smoke, add the egg mixture to the pan, making sure to swirl the pan as it goes in.
• Set aside some of the mushroom and sausage mixture for garnish. Gently spread the rest of the mushroom and sausage mixture evenly over the top of the uncooked eggs. Sprinkle with the Gruyere and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until puffed and just beginning to color, about 18 minutes.
• Flip the frittata out of the pan onto a cutting board or sheet pan. Garnish the top with dollops of creme fraiche, watercress and the reserved mushroom and sausage mixture.

WILD MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium skillet. Add the mushrooms and half-teaspoon salt, and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes, just until soft. Set in a sieve to drain.
• Beat eggs in a bowl. Add the cream and remaining salt and pepper. Add cheeses and combine. Stir in the mushrooms.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Oil 2 12-portion mini-muffin pans or a 12-portion regular muffin pan with oil spray. Divide the mixture evenly. Bake 15 to 20 minutes for mini-pans, 22 to 25 minutes for regular.

WILD MUSHROOMS IN PARCHMENT WITH WILD MINT

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Cut parchment paper into four 12-inch squares; set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine mushrooms, mint, garlic, and oil; season with salt and pepper and gently toss to combine. Divide mixture evenly between pieces of parchment paper. Fold top half of parchment paper over mixture to enclose, and staple edges to seal.
• Transfer parchment paper packets to a baking sheet. Place in the center of the oven and roast until mushrooms are soft and fragrant, about 25 minutes. Carefully open the mushroom packages and transfer the mushrooms to small warmed plates. Serve immediately.

BAKED RICOTTA FRITTATA WITH FRESH MINT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the oil in a 2-quart baking dish or a 9-inch cast iron skillet. Rub the oil over the sides of the pan, and place in the oven. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a large bowl. Whisk in the salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), pepper, ricotta, mint and garlic. Remove the baking dish from the oven and scrape in the egg mixture. Return to the oven, and bake 30 minutes or until lightly colored on the top and set.
• Remove from the heat, and allow to sit for 10 minutes or longer before serving. Serve hot, or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.
