I just love brunch. This is another recipe inspired by Bobby Flay's "Brunch at Bobby's". I added some potato and asparagus, feel free to substitute any vegetables you like. A frittata is an egg dish that starts on the oven, but then finishes off baking in the oven. Be careful to handle the skillet as it gets really hot...
I served the frittata with a roasted tomato sauce and fresh sour cream that I mixed with some chives. The tangy taste of the tomatoes and the coldness of the sour cream are a good addition.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 bunch fresh asparagus - cut into 3 inch pieces
- 1/2 cup roasted red peppers - sliced
- 3 spring onions - sliced
- 1 cooked potato - sliced
- 1 cup cheese (pepper jack, smoked gruyere or parmesan) - grated
- 1/3 cup feta cheese - cubed
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme - chopped
- 6-9 eggs
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- salt, pepper
- Optional: Sour cream mixed with fresh chives
- olive oil
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes - cut in halves
- 2 cloves garlic
- salt
- fresh basil
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degree Fahrenheit.
- In a skillet, heat the oil and add green onion, roasted pepper and asparagus. Sauté until tender (3-5min). Add the cooked potato, season with salt and pepper, and let fry for a few more minutes, till it gets slightly crispy.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cheese, feta cheese, sour cream, cream cheese and thyme. Add salt and pepper.
- Pour the egg-cheese mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. You can give the mixture a quick stir so that the vegetables are evenly spread out and do not only stick to the bottom of the frittata. Cook till the eggs begin to set slightly, about 5 minutes, you can notice it when the sides get solid.
- Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes till eggs are completely set and are lightly browned and fluffy.
- Remove from oven and carefully slide frittata onto a cutting board and cut into wedges. Sprinkle with parsley.
- Serve with tomato sauce and sour cream (mix some chives into the sour cream).
Tomato Sauce:
Heat oil in a small pan, add the tomatoes, minced garlic and salt. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until tomatoes are slightly burst and soft. Add basil and remove from heat.
