Potato Basil Frittata Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together whole eggs, whites, 1/4 cup parmesan, basil, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in large bowl.
• Preheat broiler.
• Cook garlic in 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet (preferably nonstick and ovenproof) over moderate heat, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer garlic with a slotted spoon to a bowl.
• Add potatoes to skillet and sautéover moderately high heat, stirring, until just tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to bowl with garlic.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil and tomatoes to skillet and cook over moderately high heat, stirring, until tomatoes brown and skins split, about 4 minutes.
• Add remaining tablespoon oil and potatoes with garlic to skillet, spreading evenly, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• Pour egg over vegetables and cook over moderately high heat, lifting up cooked egg around edges to let uncooked egg flow underneath, 3 minutes. Reduce heat to moderate and cook, covered, 5 minutes more (center will be moist).
• Remove lid and broil frittata 5 to 7 inches from heat until set, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle top evenly with remaining 1/4 cup parmesan, then broil until cheese melts and frittata is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Slide onto a platter and cut into 4 wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch ovenproof omelet pan over medium-low heat. Add the potatoes and saute them for 10 to 15 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through, turning often. Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in a small dish in the microwave.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a very large bowl, then stir in the ricotta, Gruyere, milk, melted butter, salt, pepper and basil. Combine the flour and baking powder in a small bowl and stir into the egg mixture.
• Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and place the pan in the center of the oven. Bake the frittata for 50 to 60 minutes, until it is puffed and browned on top and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350ºF.
• Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a 10" ovenproof omelet pan over medium-low heat.
• Add the potatoes and fry them until cooked through, turning often, about 10-15 minutes.
• Melt the remaining 5 tablespoons of butter in a small dish in the microwave.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, then stir in the ricotta, Guyere, melted butter, salt, pepper and basil.
• Sprinkle on the flour and baking powder and stir into the egg mixture.
• Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and place the pan in the center of oven.
• Bake the frittata until it is browned and puffed, 50-60 minutes.
• It will be rounded and firm in the middle and knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
• Serve hot.

Steps:

• In a small nonstick skillet (I use 8-inch), over medium heat, sauté the onions until translucent.
• Add the tomatoes, salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.
• Add basil and cook 2 more minutes.
• Place in a bowl and let cool slightly.
• Clean out the pan and spray with nonstick spray.
• Beat the eggs the water and 3 tablespoons Parmesan until a little foamy and pour into the nonstick skillet.
• Pour the veggie mixture into the eggs and mix it up a bit.
• Cook over low heat, without stirring, about 10-15 minutes until the eggs are set- it will still be a bit runny on top.
• While eggs are cooking, heat up your broiler and after eggs have set, sprinkle remaining Parmesan over the top and broil until bubbly and lightly brown.
• Great for weekend brunch!
• This serves 2 hungry folk or 4 not so hungry folk.
