Frittata

[Rosie29]

I like the idea of these but aren't they just a Spanish omelette but more trouble?
I've not got a small oven and from the recipes I've looked at you have to oven cook it to finish it off.
Any tips on how to make one without oven ? Thank you

I alternate between calling it a crustless quiche/frittata/tortilla...I don't use a frying pan. Everything goes into an enamel pie tin...and I do it in the Airfyer.
If I was using potatoes, I'd pre-cook them, then slice and put in the tin.
I gave up on the frypan stage ages ago...too much of a faff.

A frittata is a baked omelette so you do need an oven but this shows you how to do on the hob https://www.bonappetit.com/story/how-to-make-a-frittata-stovetop

This one cooks on the hob and finishes under the grill https://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipes/one-pan-english-breakfast-frittata/

Thank you both very much x

I recall that years ago I tried doing it all on the stovetop...but always ended up with it underdone in the middle :(

I make Spanish omelette, and start by bringing thin spud slices to the boil in a pan, then letting them rest before draining. In the meantime I fry onion slices and let them cool. Anything else would be treated in a similar way. I beat some eggs and season and herb them, then mix them with the veg when all is cool enough.
Heat a knob of butter in a ss frying pan and chuck the stuff in once the butter is browning. Let it sizzle and then pop a lid on and cook slowly till the top isn't too wet. If necessary, pop under a grill to set the top.

Douglas, you do make me laugh out loud :-)

Can't go to Spain at the moment - probably never no more - but I'll give your method a go Atheist also the ideas in Barry's post. Thank you x

My method is to fry your choice of veg, we usually have a sliced pepper, onion, courgette, halved cherry toms. Put these in an oven dish. Beat 6 to 8 eggs in a jug, season it, add in finely grated parmesan. Pour all this over the veg and scatter cubes of feta or other cheese of choice, ensuring some are 'submerged' and others are more exposed. Grate more cheese over the top if you want. Put in the oven at about 200C for 10-15 minutes, check the centre to see if it needs longer. Cut into portions to serve with salad or whatever side you desire. It does well for later or the next day when cooled. Very adaptable according to your veg/cheese preferences.
