Cooking Notes

Beth Gahbler

Very nice. Good, easy technique; could be varied in any number of ways.
The next time I make it, I will take it out of the oven 5 minutes earlier - I like my eggs slightly runnier.
I also cooked the chard ahead of time and then assembled the dish at the last minute. Works very well for that too.

It's good! Since I had both chard and braising mix in my CSA box this week I used them both in this dish, to good effect. Also added a couple of generous tablespoons of dijon mustard to the egg mixture.

Would love to hear folks thoughts on why chard stems were so specifically excluded from this recipe. It seems to me like they would be fine in it; am I missing something? (I always appreciate recipes that use the whole vegetable and don't require the cook to go off and not only find but make a second recipe to use up the unused bits).

I have made this recipe a number of times and always use the chard stems -- I just slice and sautee them along with other items at the beginning of step 4 (though I add the garlic a little later to give the chard stems enough time to cook). I think it adds a great additional texture to the frittata. (p.s.: I add feta to this recipe, which is also delicious!).

I would do it again! would do without Rosemary, it is too bold for this dish, also created a second layer on the bottom with the chard stems and green garlic that worked well, poured the egg and green mix over top of sauteed stems and garlic mix and then put in the oven.

This was delicious. I don’t think it would serve six without a generous side dish. I substituted an onion and three cloves of garlic for the green garlic and it was just fine. Very pleased!

Laura

I added a two additional eggs and maybe 2.5 oz of shredded cheddar. Didn't affect the bake time.

Had anyone successfully frozenness? I'm concerned that the eggs would disintegrate on defrosting and might become rubbery.

Good recipe! Used garlic scapes instead of green garlic (what I had on hand). I saw no reason to use two skillets/baking dishes, wiping out the same cast iron skillet after sautéing the vegetables. Making it again today due to the bumper crop of rainbow chard from my garden!

Susan

This was good but not great. Maybe I'm just not that wowed by chard? Not sure but I am tempted to try again with spinach.

Ari

This is an excellent base recipe. I thinly sliced three very small green bell peppers, and one and a half small onions on a mandoline, sauteed them until tender along with the chard stems which I also sliced very thinly. For herbs I used two thinly sliced cloves of garlic, some fresh oregano and fresh chives, and a little crushed red pepper. Nonfat Greek yogurt, and eight eggs. Why write all this? It came out great despite major deviations. Will definitely make this regularly to use up veggies.

Lulu

Used chopped chives instead of green garlic which was not available...

Lloyd

This recipe is super versatile - had some of the fresh rosemary but had to use green onions instead of green garlic, dried thyme and then swapped out the chard (since we didn't have) for lightly chopped baby kale and spinach (which I just very quickly sautéed with the herbs)... added a bit of minced garlic as well. It was delicious - my husband who generally thins frittatas are tasteless said this is a must repeat! The creaminess of the Greek yogurt really delivers.

rebelchanteuse

I think this frittata is absolutely delicious! I do think that saying the recipe makes six servings is a bit stingy, though. I decided to halve-again the recipe because I was expecting eight for brunch (which was no problem -- the recipe is quite versatile). There ended up being only five of us, and there was very little left over (the guests didn't take large portions). Oh-so-yummy -- Martha, you're a goddess!

FAQs

How do you keep frittata fluffy? ›

Tips for Fluffy Eggs

You can add up to 1/2 cup per dozen eggs. Don't overcook! Overcooking eggs makes them rubbery. When you remove the Frittata from the oven, it will continue to cook, especially if you are using cast iron, which retains heat well.

When making a frittata, which ingredient should be pre-cooked prior to adding it to the egg mixture? ›

Tough vegetables like potatoes, squash and onions need to be pre-cooked since they will not have time enough to soften before the eggs are done. Raw meats such as bacon and sausage also need more time and heat to cook through safely, so get them prepped before your other ingredients.

How do you make frittata not watery? ›

If you skip pre-cooking them, that excess liquid can make for a watery frittata that steams rather than bakes in the oven. Follow this tip: All veggies really benefit from at least a quick sauté before the eggs are added to the pan.

What is the best pan for frittata? ›

The best choice for making frittatas, cast iron skillets can safely go from stovetop to oven, and they conduct heat well and evenly. Seasoning a cast-iron pan gives it a non-stick quality, so a well-seasoned skillet will result in the easiest slicing & serving.

What kind of cheese is good in frittata? ›

Now for the fun part. Frittatas are so versatile and forgiving that you can mix and match different toppings and ingredients to get your perfect breakfast. Cheese: You really can't go wrong here. Goat, feta, mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar (sharp cheddar is a favorite), and brie work great.

How to tell when frittata is done? ›

The eggs should be cooked through, not runny and a knife should come out clean when inserted into the centre. You can also give the skillet a gentle shake to determine if it is done; a runny frittata will jiggle when you shake the skillet.

How long does homemade frittata last? ›

When you refrigerate cooked eggs, they'll stay good to eat for three to four days, so you can easily make a frittata (or two) during Sunday meal prep, slice and pack it up, and enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner almost all week long. In fact, frittatas are so foolproof, you don't even need a recipe to make one.

Do you flip a frittata out of the pan? ›

I suddenly found myself with a frittata cooking in the skillet and no broiler to finish it under. The solution was simple: Just flip it like a Spanish tortilla. Compared to a normal finished-in-the-oven frittata which can take on a poofy, souffléd texture, flipping produces a much creamier, denser omelette.

What is the difference between a quiche and a frittata? ›

A frittata is partially cooked in a skillet on the cooktop then finished in the oven. It also has a lower egg to dairy ratio making it closer to an open faced omelet than a pie. Quiche has a creamier, custard-like texture due to more dairy and is cooked entirely in the oven.

How do you keep eggs fluffy? ›

Whisking incorporates air, which produces fluffier scrambled eggs, and fluffy eggs are the end goal. These eggs are whisked twice: once to blend the eggs together and a second time once you add the milk. For best results, whisk until your wrist is tired! The mixture should look pale yellow and frothy with bubbles.

What makes frittata spongy? ›

Beat eggs until just blended: Overbeating the eggs invites too much air in to the egg mixture. As the frittata bakes, the eggs will expand and puff up. That can leave them with a spongy texture that's dry and unappealing.

Why did my frittata rise? ›

What Makes a Frittata Rise? Milk or cream is the essential ingredient that will make your frittata rise. Cooked without either milk or cream, the frittata will be flatter and less puffy. Add the milk or cream to the eggs and whisk them together until they are fluffy.
