Best Recipe for Seasonal Mexican Frittata with Salad
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 small zucchini, cut into 1-inch dice
- 2 scallions (white and pale green parts only), chopped
- 1 ear corn, kernels cut off the cob
- 1/3 cup diced tomatoes (1-inch dice)
- 5 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/3 cup Mexican crema
- 1/3 cup shredded Oaxaca or mozzarella cheese
- 4 cups arugula
- 1/4 cup toasted pepitas (hulled green pumpkin seeds)
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Drizzle of olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Big pieces of shaved Parmesan, for topping
Instructions
- For the frittata: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
- In an 8-inch nonstick, ovenproof saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the scallions and corn and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for about 1 minute.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, beat the eggs with 2 tablespoons of water. Add the egg mixture and cilantro to the pan along with some salt and pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes, lifting the edges with a spatula to allow any uncooked egg to flow to the bottom. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until puffed and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Pour the Mexican crema over the top and sprinkle with the cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature.
- For the salad: Add the arugula, pepitas, cranberries, lemon juice, olive oil and some salt and pepper to a bowl and toss to combine. Top with Parmesan shavings
