Hearts of Artichoke Frittata: Breakfast-Brunch

Servings: 6

Prep time:1 Hour

Ingredients:

• 

  1 (9-ounce) package frozen artichoke hearts

• 

  2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 

  ½ cup minced onions

• 

  ¼ cup minced garlic

• 

  ½ tsp fresh oregano, chopped

• 

  ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 

  8 whole eggs, beaten

• 

  ½ cup milk

• 

  Salt and black pepper to taste

• 

  1/8 tsp nutmeg

• 

  1 cup grated Monterey Jack cheese

Step 1:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare artichokes according to package directions. Set aside.

Step 2:

In a cast iron skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, garlic, oregano and artichokes. Sauté 3-5 minutes or until vegetables are wilted. Remove skillet from heat and set aside. Generously grease a 9” x 13” baking dish and coat the bottom with ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Spoon the artichoke mixture evenly over the bottom of the dish. In a mixing bowl, combine beaten eggs, milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Step 3:

NOTE: Be careful when adding salt to this recipe since Parmesan cheese normally has high sodium content. Blend well, then add Monterey Jack cheese and ¼ cup Parmesan cheese. Distribute egg mixture over the artichokes and spread evenly. Bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes.

Step 4:

Remove dish from oven, sprinkle evenly with remaining Parmesan cheese and continue baking until Frittata is puffed and golden brown, approximately 5 minutes.
