PEA AND SPINACH FRITTATA



Pea and Spinach Frittata image

I love breakfast. I start thinking about it as soon as I'm finished with desert - I know I'm crazy. I'm willing to sacrifice hours of sleep to whip up something delectable to start off my day. Luckily - this recipe doesn't require that. Just 10 minutes of your time and a handful of ingredients which you should keep onhand anyways. The result? A healthy breakast that is a definite leap up from a bowl of cereal or the plain-jane bagel.

FRITTATA WITH PEAS, HERBS AND FETA OR PARMESAN



Frittata With Peas, Herbs and Feta or Parmesan image

This frittata is just one good reason to stock peas in your freezer. My favorite herbs to use are tarragon and chives.

Categories     breakfast, easy, quick

Time 30m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs
1 tablespoon milk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/3 cup fresh peas, steamed or cooked in salted boiling water for 4 to 5 minutes, or 1/3 cup thawed frozen peas
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs, like chives, tarragon or parsley
1 tablespoon, tightly packed, freshly grated Parmesan, or 1 ounce feta, crumbled
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Beat the eggs and milk in a bowl with salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the peas, chopped herbs, and Parmesan or feta.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a heavy, 8-inch nonstick omelet pan. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping in every last bit with a heat-proof rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Once a few layers of egg have cooked during the first couple of minutes of cooking, turn the heat down to low, cover and cook 7 to 10 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and just about set. From time to time remove the lid and loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden or heat-proof rubber spatula, tilting the pan, so that the bottom doesn't burn. It will however turn golden.
  • If the frittata is still runny on the top, wearing oven mitts, slide the frittata out onto a plate or even better, a saucepan lid that has a handle, reverse the pan over the plate or lid, and holding the two together, flip the plate or lid so that the frittata goes back into the pan on its not-quite-cooked side. Finish for no longer than a minute, then reverse onto a platter. Allow to cool to room temperature, and serve, or chill. Cut into 4 wedges to serve. The wedges pack well and are very portable.
