HERB-AND-OLIVE FRITTATA
In this recipe, herbs are the focus, but to use herbs on a grand scale, it helps to know which ones work in that role and which ones don't. Parsley, obviously, works in abundance: it's clean-tasting, pleasantly grassy and almost never overwhelming. You can add literally a bunch (bunches!) of it to salad, soup, eggs, pasta, grains or beans. The same is largely true of basil, and you can use other mild herbs - chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, shiso - by at least the handful. (Mint is also useful but will easily take over a dish if you add too much of it.) I put most other herbs - epazote, lavender, marjoram and oregano, rosemary, sage, tarragon and thyme - in the category of strong herbs, which must be used more sparingly than mild herbs. You usually don't want to use more than a tablespoon or so of strong herbs in a dish. This frittata uses generous amounts of both parsley and basil and lesser amounts of dill, mint, rosemary or thyme.

Steps:
- Put the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add the olives and herbs and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Meanwhile, beat together the eggs, milk, flour and some salt and pepper.
- Turn heat to low and pour the egg mixture into the skillet, using a spoon if necessary to evenly distribute the herbs and olives. Cook, undisturbed, until the eggs are just set, 5 to 10 minutes. (You can set the top further by putting the pan in an oven at 350 for a few minutes or by running it under the broiler for a minute or two.) Serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet. Add the onion and green onions and cook them gently until they are soft and lightly browned. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs and then add the ricotta. Whisk again until well incorporated with the eggs. Season the mixture generously with salt and pepper and add the fresh herbs and the reserved cooked onions.
- Set the same pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter melts, pour the egg mixture into the pan. When the mixture starts to set, with the help of a spatula, ease it away from the sides of the pan. Let the frittata cook gently until it is almost set. At this point it should be still a little wet on top.
- Turn off the heat. Place a large plate on top of the pan. Invert the frittata upside down onto the plate and slide it back into the pan. The heat of the pan will only need 30 seconds or so to finish cooking the top of the frittata.
- Slide the frittata onto a serving plate. Let it sit for 5 minutes to cool down slightly, cut into wedges or smaller slices and serve.
GRAIN FRITTATA WITH CHILE, LIME AND FRESH HERBS
You may think of frittatas as leftovers' idea of heaven, but is it yours? For a frittata to look forward to, throw in leftover grains: The result is something like a Spanish tortilla, pleasingly dense, but with more bounce. Add an acid, like lime, and umami, like fish sauce, which melts into an underlying savoriness when warmed. Whatever you do, don't turn on the oven for this. Instead, stir the frittata on the stove and all but the top will set - nothing a few minutes covered can't fix (no precarious flip!). Finally, put a salad on top. The herby one here adds pep to the substantial frittata, as does a final squeeze of lime.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and 1/4 cup water until bubbles form, then whisk in the fish sauce until combined. Using a rubber spatula, mix in the farro.
- In an 8- or 9-inch nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and chile, and sauté until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour in the egg-grain mixture. Using the rubber spatula, stir the eggs to mix in the shallot and chile. Let sit undisturbed until the edges of the eggs start to bubble and cook, just a minute. Then run your spatula across the bottom of the pan to pull the eggs from the edges to the center. Create holes in the center of the frittata as well, tilting the pan as needed so wet egg runs into the empty space created by your spatula. Continue pulling and agitating the eggs until the surface is wet but mostly set when you tilt the pan, about 7 to 10 minutes, depending on the size of your pan.
- Smooth the top of the frittata, then cover with a lid or foil and let cook until the eggs are just set, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the herbs and scallions in a small bowl, then squeeze in enough lime to lightly moisten (about 1 tablespoon or 1/4 lime). Toss with your fingers to combine.
- Once the frittata is cooked, loosen the sides with your rubber spatula and slide onto a serving platter. Top with herbs and scallions and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.

HERB FRITTATA
This is one of the real classics of this region's cuisine (Friuli-Venezia Giulia).You will find it wherever you travel, especially in the springtime when wild herbs sprout in fragrant profusion all over La Terra Fortunata. The key here is to use as large a variety of herbs, grasses and greens as you can locate. It is traditional that there be at least five different types. Among the most famous are silene, hops, melissa, mint, verbena, basil, marjoram, sage, parsley, spinach (just a little), fennel leaves, Swiss chard, zucchini (courgette) flowers, wild fennel, beet greens, chervil, sorrel and celery leaves. This frittata is served piping hot, tepid or cool. As always, it should be covered if allowed to cool and cut into wedges before serving.

Steps:
- Thoroughly butter the bottom and sides of an 8-inch nonstick skillet. If 2 tablespoons are not sufficient, use more butter. Place the pan over low heat; when the butter becomes warm, add chives or onions. Heat gently, just until they give off a little fragrance. Add the herbs and greens and, if necessary, a little more butter. Stir so that all the flavors mingle.
- While the greens are heating, beat the eggs, milk, flour, cheese and a little pepper into a large bowl. Add the egg mixture to the greens and stir with a fork, taking care to avoid scraping the fork along the bottom of the pan. While working with the fork in 1 hand, shake the pan continuously to prevent the frittata from sticking.
- Once the frittata has a rather firm skin on the bottom, slide it out of the pan and onto a plate. Invert the frittata back into the pan so that the less-cooked side of the frittata is now face-down in the pan. Return to the heat and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, shaking the pan continuously to prevent sticking. The frittata is done when the bottom is firm and light chestnut-brown.
- Slide the frittata onto a dish for serving. If you plan to cool the frittata, cover it with a clean cloth or paper towels. Cut into wedges before serving.
- Variations:
- To make a baked omelet, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Prepare the greens as above and transfer to a buttered 8-inch baking dish. Beat the eggs, milk, flour, cheese, and pepper in a large bowl and pour over the greens. Bake for 15 minutes, unmold onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve.
- Although usually served plain, you can drape a paper-thin slice of prosciutto di San Daniele over the frittata before serving.
SUMMER VEGETABLE FRITTATA
Steps:
- Preheat broiler.
- Whisk together eggs, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
- Cook prosciutto in oil in a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over moderate heat, stirring, until edges begin to crisp, about 2 minutes. Add zucchini and chard and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender, about 8 minutes. Add scallions and zucchini blossoms and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour egg mixture into skillet and cook, lifting up cooked egg around edge using a spatula to let as much raw egg as possible flow underneath, until edge is set, about 2 minutes (top and center will still be very loose). Sprinkle cheese evenly over top.
- Broil frittata about 6 inches from heat until set, slightly puffed, and golden, 2 to 2 1/2 minutes.
- Cool frittata 5 minutes, then loosen edge with a clean spatula and slide onto a large plate. Cut into wedges.
- *Available at many farmers markets and specialty produce markets.

Steps:
- Put the potatoes in a pan of salted water, bring to the boil, then simmer for 12-15 mins or until tender. Drain, leave to cool, then thinly slice. Whisk the eggs and egg whites with the milk, garlic, mustard and herbs, and season generously. Add the cream cheese and fold through just a little so that some lumps remain. Heat the grill to medium-high.
- Heat the oil over a medium heat in a 23cm non-stick frying pan. Add the potatoes and fry for about 5 mins, until they start to turn golden. Add the courgette and chilli flakes, and continue to fry for a couple mins more. Stir through the petit pois.
- Tip the egg mixture into the pan and scatter with the feta and tomatoes. Cook over a gentle heat for 10-12 mins until almost set. Pop the pan under the grill and cook for 3-5 mins until puffed, golden and cooked through. Cut into wedges and serve with a crisp green salad.

THE FARMER'S FRITTATA (ITALIAN-STYLE OMELET)
Loaded with fresh vegetables and a touch of bacon, this farmer's frittata is my favorite type of frittata. It's a perfect way to use your gorgeous, fresh garden vegetables. Curing the squash with kosher salt pulls out the bitterness and makes the squash taste sweeter. It's got great texture, taste, and visual appeal and can be served hot, warm, at room temperature or cold for any meal of the day.

Steps:
- Combine zucchini and summer squash in a bowl and sprinkle 2 tablespoons kosher salt over top; toss until everything is evenly coated. Let sit for 15 minutes, tossing occasionally.
- Thoroughly rinse squash with cold water to remove all salt; transfer to a colander and let drain for 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add bacon and cook until browned and almost crisp, about 5 minutes.
- While the bacon is cooking, mix eggs, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, black pepper, cayenne, and green onions together with a fork in a large bowl.
- Raise the heat on the bacon to medium-high; toss in peppers and red onion plus a pinch of salt. Cook and stir until the peppers just start to soften and the onions turn translucent, about 3 minutes. Add drained squash and carefully stir together; cook until squash is just barely tender, about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
- Toss Cheddar cheese into the skillet and pour egg mixture over top. Stir with a spatula (like you were making scrambled eggs) until it starts to thicken up, 30 to 45 seconds. Shake the pan gently to settle the contents and turn off the heat. Push the edges down a bit with the spatula and sprinkle goat cheese over top. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
- Place under the preheated broiler until the surface is lightly browned and frittata is firm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with more green onions and let cool for 5 minutes before transferring it onto a serving plate.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°.
- Saute garlic in olive oil over moderate heat in a small saucepan until soft and golden, 7 minutes; discard the garlic. In a heat resistant dish or pie pan, toss diced bread with 1 tablespoon of garlic oil. Bake for 6 minutes, or until crisp. Leave the oven on.
- Whisk eggs with Parmesan, cream, chives and tarragon in a medium sized bowl; season with salt and pepper. Whisk in 1/4 cup of the garlic oil.
- In a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat the remaining garlic oil until shimmering. If using a cast iron pan, make sure it is coated well with oil.
- Whisk the eggs again and add to skillet. Cook without stirring for 1 minute, until just set around the edge. Lift the edges of the fritatta with a spatula and tilt the pan so the uncooked egg can seep underneath. Continue until the eggs are mostly set, 3 minutes.
- Spoon the ricotta in small dollops over the frittata; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the croutons.
- Bake for 4 minutes, until fluffy and set. Slide onto a large plate, cut into wedges and serve.

Add onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and beginning to brown, 5–8 minutes. Add zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is cooked through and beginning to brown (mixture will look quite dry at this point), 5–8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in butter until melted.
- Whisk eggs and crème fraîche in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper; pour over vegetables. Cook, stirring egg mixture and swirling pan frequently (be sure to scrape down the sides as well), until edges are just set (the texture of a very soft scramble), about 5 minutes. Dollop with ricotta and sprinkle with Parmesan. Transfer skillet to oven and bake eggs until puffed slightly and the center is set, 12–15 minutes. Let frittata cool in pan at least 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in a small bowl. Season herb salad with salt and pepper and arrange over fritatta. Top with red pepper flakes, if using, and slice into wedges before serving.
