About and the Mother Dish Technique
Frittata Mother Dish Technique
Frittatas are delicious egg casseroles that are equally appropriate for the breakfast table and the dinner table. The fact that they are quite flexible from the ingredients perspective makes me classify them as a mother dish. Learn to make a basic frittata, and you can make fresh, seasonal ingredients the star of the dish any time of year.
Individual Frittata Recipes
Root to Leaf Radish Frittata
One bunch of radishes, including their greens is perfectly proportioned to star in an 8-egg frittata. Cooking radishes softens their texture and accentuates their sweetness, perfect to pair in an egg dish. Including their spicy greens is a great complement in this root to leaf dish.
Melted Zucchini Frittata
A frittata is at its best when it has a custardy texture and mouthfeel. The creamy consistency of melted zucchini plays right into that game. This frittata can make an inspired breakfast, or with crusty bread and a salad it can make a nice weeknight dinner.
Swiss Chard Frittata
This frittata recipe is quite versatile. While it specifies Swiss chard as a main ingredient, the chard can be replaced with any number of greens or other vegetables.
