I have been wanting to learn how to make a frittata for the longest time now and I finally decided to try my hand at making one. Results? Major Success!!! Frittatas are super easy to make, taste delicious and can be very healthy. They are also a great menu choice when hosting a breakfast or brunch because they don't require a lot of prep time and a typical frittata recipe yields roughly 8 servings. This frittata recipe was inspired by my favorite omelet ingredients as of late.
Ingredients
- 9 Large Eggs
- 1/4 c. Half & Half
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/4 tsp Fresh Cracked Pepper
- 1 1/2 tsp Fresh Thyme Leaves
- 1/4 c. Dry Packed Sun-Dried Tomatoes
- 1/3 c. Feta Cheese
- 1 large or 2 small Shallots thinly sliced
- 2 c. Fresh Baby Kale Wilted (heat in a microwave safe bowl for about 1 minute)
- 2 Tbs. Grapeseed Oil
- Non-Stick Cooking Spray
Instructions
- Set oven to Broil and place oven rack in the top third tier
- In a 10in Skillet, spray generously with Non-stick cooking spray and then add 2 Tbs Grape seed oil
- Heat pan on medium high heat
- When pan is hot, add the sliced shallots
- Stir shallots intermittently until they are slightly browned and crispy. Remove from heat (for about a minute) and bring stovetop temp down to medium-low
- Meanwhile, whisk together eggs, salt, pepper and half & half in a bowl
- Add egg mixture to the skillet and return pan to heat (*At this point I suggest taking a spoon or fork and shift the shallots around so that they are evenly distributed throughout the fritatta)
- Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves all over the surface of the fritatta
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes, wilted kale and feta cheese
- While the base is cooking, continuously run your spatula along the edges and underneath the frittata to prevent it from sticking to the pan
- Once the base of the frittata has solidified, place the oven safe skillet under the broiler to finish cooking (approximately 4 minutes)
- Remove from oven and transfer to a serving platter (I like to use my pizza cutter to slice up the frittata)
- Serve and Enjoy!
