This recipe makes a great breakfast or a lunch sandwich, from Giada De Laurentiis who always makes these easy but ultimately very very tasty dishes.
Try not to switch the prosciutto which gives this egg dish a nice twist. But of course you can use ham or any other lunch meat that you like. This recipe is quite versatile, and will handle most any changes you make to it. Such as changing the meat or the cheeses. Or you can add more ingredients, such as mushrooms, green peppers etc.
If you wanted to you could skip the bread, and serve the frittata with some salad on the side and some red wine and you'd have a complete meal:)
FRITTATA WITH POTATO AND PROSCIUTTO
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 (7-ounce) potato, peeled, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1/2 onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 ounces sliced prosciutto, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
1 baguette, cut into 8 pieces
1/4 cup unsalted butter
Directions:
Heat the oil in a heavy 9 1/2-inch-diameter skillet over medium heat. Add the potato, onion, and garlic. Season the potato mixture with salt and pepper, to taste.
Saute over medium-low heat until the potato is golden and crisp on the outside, tender inside, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, cream, Parmesan, prosciutto, and basil in a medium bowl to blend. Stir the egg mixture into the potato mixture in the skillet.
Cook over medium-low heat until the egg mixture is almost set but the top is still loose, about 3 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown, about 4 minutes.
Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a cutting board. Cut the frittata into 12 wedges.
Split open each bread piece. Toast the bread on a grill pan until golden. You can also broil the bread cut side up until golden, about 1 to 2 minutes, keeping a careful watch on the bread since they can easily burn.
Butter the cut sides of the toasted bread. Arrange a frittata wedge on each bottom piece of bread. Cover with the bread tops and serve.
