Greens and Garlic Frittata to Go Recipe (2024)

I like to put the wedges in a bread roll with hot sauce. Good portable plane food, too!

Add some grated zucchini (about half) to this and it is as liight as, without altering the flavour. I also add extra cheese (tasty cheddar or the like).

If the frittata isn't done when take off the lid, just put it under the broiler. I always finish them off like that.

This was delicious! A couple of suggestions:
1. Use frozen chopped spinach -- thaw and squeeze dry: no messy blanching or chopping.
2. Add a couple of diced sun-dried tomatoes; adds nice color, texture and flavor.

Very tasty and delightfully easy, this is the ideal frittata recipe. I followed Martha's suggestion to use up to 3/4 cup of kale chopped fine in a food processor. (I didn't blanch them first; it wasn't necessary.) To save a minute, I used garlic-infused olive oil instead of mincing a clove. I used 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese. Sally's suggestion of hot sauce is spot-on: a few dots on top of each slice add welcome depth. (Without hot sauce, the frittata keeps well for a day.)

Yes, mix with the eggs.

I didn't blanch the greens. Really not necessary. My kids gobbled this up- even the spinach- with no complaints.

So this was delicious. I added some capers as well which was nice. Instead of flipping it after 5 minutes, to finish the middle I put it under the broiler for 2 minutes and it finished perfectly.

I added 1/2 onions before I put in the eggs, it was great.

Made this with blanched beet greens--yum! Served with a homemade salsa and onions pickled in lime juice. Delicious, easy, and a pleasure.

Used 6 eggs; 1 cup knife-minced kale, sautéed before adding eggs. Skipped the milk. Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan. Broiled 3-4 minutes to set instead of flipping. So tasty.

This was a good recipe to get me more organized about the no-recipe frittatas I've made over the years.If you leave the pan uncovered and continue to coax any runny egg under the frittata, I can avoid flipping it or heating up the broiler. This also helps keep the frittata from sticking to my cast-iron pan.

This is wonderful cold. I have made it with a mix of greens and also just kale. I use a cup of greens, measured after blanching, chopped fine. I prefer them blanched. Milder taste and more tender. Great leftover in a sandwich with mayo too. I will make this again and again.

Definitely use a non-stick pan! I used a cast iron pan thinking it was seasoned enough... and had to scrape the fritatta out. But it tastes great!

This is one of my go-to recipes, which I make often. It’s very adaptable! I use 4-6 eggs, and any kind of greens (blanched and chopped fine, as indicated). But it’s also a great way to repurpose any kind of roasted vegetables, cut into smallish pieces. You can also change up the kind of cheese (Gruyère, cheddar, Romano) and add fresh herbs if you like. Always the minced garlic, a little milk, and I cook as indicated. Cut into squares, it’s great cold, or on toast with mayonnaise. So good!

I don’t do well with garlic. Is there something else to use or would it be OK without it?

This dish is lovely with foraged greens like garlic mustard, dandelion, chickweed, lamb’s quarters. Add another cloves of garlic and perhaps more cheese for stronger greens. Also, arugula is delicious in this.

Yeowsa—I salted way too much! I wish there was a measurement as you can’t salt and pepper “to taste” when you are adding s&p into raw egg yolks.

A bit too garlicky for me. Next time I will add more greens and less garlic. Used red Swiss chard and it looked very festive for Xmas breakfast.

I cook my frittata in a cast iron skillet (using whatever greens I have around) and put it under the broiler to finish. Slides right out. A favorite supper in our house!

This is my favorite way to use up spinach that's about to go off. I blanch it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes (I have a 700W microwave). Then, I chop it. As the garlic already needs to be chopped anyway, there's only two extra dishes to do when blanching the spinach rather than using fresh (the microwave bowl and the strainer for the spinach), and I think it's worth it. I have never had parmesan available when making this, so I use shredded mozzarella instead.

I used this recipe as a refresher for the frittatas that I learned to make in Rome. I didn’t blanch the chard and used a blend of shredded Italian mixed cheeses that I had to hand. It was delicious!

Like others, I used six eggs. Also, upped the cheese a tad and used 1 cup very very thinly sliced chard (not blanched) and 1.5 cloves garlic. Sautéed 1/4 of a minced onion before adding the eggs. My pan can't go under the broiler, but at 8", it's easy to flip (I can hear the voice of Julia telling me to "have the courage of my convictions!") We eat this as a an open faced sandwich on buttered English muffin halves.

Did 6 eggs vs. 4 and ended up baking this in the oven at 400F for approx 20 minutes. It was delicious!

Avoid this recipe. It’s easy and simple to make but that’s the only thing doing for it. There’s so little Parmesan that you cannot taste it, and we doubled the amount. Does not call for milk, either—who makes a frittata without milk? Cooking it in a pan on the stove instead of in the oven makes it much easier to burn the eggs. Also wish we had cooked the garlic beforehand, it doesn’t taste great raw. It was just a dry, bad omelette at the end of the day, and not a nice moist yummy frittata.

I would more likely saute the greens in the pan before adding the eggs. Easy and nice flavor.

The pan matters. I did not use a non stick pan. The eggs didn’t stick necessarily but took a bit longer to cook. The flavor was very good though. I agree you can’t have enough cheese.

My first frittata. Came out well, added more chard and cheese. Did anyone else find it had too much oil? Oil floated to top and I actually poured it off before putting it under the broiler. Broiler was a great tip - thanks!

Used duck eggs, sheep's milk, and fried thin slivers of onion in the pan before the eggs went in. Wonderful.
