This frittata layers thinly sliced potatoes and sautéed spring onions into a creamy Gruyère-studded egg base, finished with a quick stint under the broiler for a golden top. It works equally well for a weekend brunch, a light dinner with salad, or sliced cold for a packed lunch.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 bunch spring onions, white and green parts separated, thinly sliced
- 8 large eggs
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a 9-inch oven-safe skillet, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
-
Add the sliced potatoes and the white parts of the spring onions. Season lightly with salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden.
-
Stir in the green parts of the spring onions and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until well combined.
-
Spread the potato and onion mixture evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the top, tilting the pan gently to distribute evenly.
-
Cook over medium-low heat without stirring until the edges begin to set, about 4 minutes.
-
Sprinkle the Gruyère evenly over the top of the frittata.
-
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake until the center is just set and no longer wobbly, 15 to 18 minutes.
-
Remove from the oven and let the frittata rest in the skillet for 5 minutes before slicing.
-
Sprinkle with chopped chives, slice into wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature.
