Recipes

Basic Frittata
Serves 4

A frittata is a type of Italian omelette that frequently features fillings such as meats, cheeses, and vegetables. Like a normal omelette, a frittata is prepared in a skillet. However, whereas a normal omelette is cooked on a stovetop and served folded, a frittata is first partially cooked on a stovetop but then finished in the oven and served open-faced.

6 extra-large Eggs
1 tsp. Kosher Salt
1/4 tsp. Black Pepper
1 Tbsp. Butter
Desired Filling

Heat the oven to 400°. Beat the eggs, 1 tablespoon of water, salt and pepper until thoroughly blended, but not foamy. Heat the butter in a heavy 10" ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat until foaming. Tilt the pan to coat the bottom and sides with butter. Add fillings and cook until veggies are soft and meats are heated through. Pour in the eggs and reduce the heat to low. 3. Cook the eggs, shaking the pan vigorously from time to time, until all but the top 1/4" is set. Check occasionally to make sure the eggs are not browning. If they are, reduce the heat even further. Place the skillet in the oven just until the top of the frittata is set, about 5 minutes. Serve hot or at room temperature.

Filling Suggestions

1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs, like Italian parsley, basil, dill, tarragon, chives, thyme, and chervil. Use the herbs alone or in combination, like the classic combination fine herbs (equal parts parsley, chervil, chives and tarragon.) Brush the finished omelet with butter and sprinkle with additional herbs. Herbs can also be added to the omelet mixture to flavor the eggs more fully.
2 to 3 tablespoons cooked vegetables like, chopped asparagus, spinach or other greens, zucchini, mushrooms, eggplant, peppers, tomato or avocado
2 tablespoons grated cheese, like Gruyere, Goat cheese, Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Gouda, Feta -
1 tablespoon currant jelly, then dust omelet with confectioner's sugar
2 tablespoons chopped proscuitto or other ham, crumbled cooked bacon or other cured meat -
1 to 2 tablespoons chopped smoked salmon or trout, with a tablespoon sour cream, cream cheese or creme fraiche
2 to 3 tablespoons sliced apples, pears or strawberries, alone or with a complimentary cheese
