Green Herb and Goat Cheese Frittata
Created by Peter BerleyServes: 4
Course: Breakfast
Season(s): Spring, Summer, Fall
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cups thinly sliced chives, green onions, and basil
- 8 ounces mild goat cheese
- salt and freshly milled black pepper
- 1 dozen large eggs
Instructions
Frittatas are traditionally served at room temperature, but this one is also good hot or warm, straight from the pan.
Set a rack on the top shelf of the oven and preheat to 450°F. In a large ovenproof skillet over high heat, warm 2 tbls. of oil. Add herbs and sauté for 2 min. Transfer herbs to a plate and let cool for several min. Season with salt and pepper. In a large bowl, season eggs with salt and pepper. Whisk lightly with a fork—only enough to mix the whites and yolks. Stir in herbs and crumble goat cheese into egg mixture. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel and place over medium heat. Add remaining 3 tbls. oil and swirl all around and up the sides of the pan.
Add egg and herb mixture and stir gently with the back of a fork without touching the bottom or sides of the pan. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and cook for 1-2 min. When the bottom of the frittata begins to set, transfer the pan to the top shelf of the oven and bake until golden brown and puffed, about 15 min. Slide the frittata onto a serving platter, cut into wedges, and serve.
