Cheese Frittata with Pico de Gallo
- 3/4 pound ripe tomatoes, halved
- 1 small jalapeno, minced
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons unsalted butter
- 8 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 1/3 cup grated Port Salut or Fontina cheese (about 2 ounces)
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
- Working over a strainer set over a bowl, seed the tomatoes, reserving the juices.
- Coarsely chop the tomatoes.
- In a blender or mini-processor, pulse the tomatoes, jalapeno, cilantro and cumin until finely chopped but not pureed.
- Transfer to a bowl and stir in 2 tablespoons of the reserved tomato juices.
- Stir in the salt.
- Preheat the broiler.
- In a 10-inch omelet pan, preferably nonstick, melt the butter until the foam subsides.
- In a medium bowl, combine the eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the eggs to the pan and cook over high heat without stirring until the edges set.
- Lower the heat to moderate and lift the sides of the omelet, tilting the skillet to let the uncooked eggs spread underneath.
- Cook until the bottom is golden and the top is still slightly runny, about 3 minutes.
- Spoon 1/2 cup of the pico de gallo on top of the eggs and sprinkle with the cheese and scallions.
- Set the pan under the broiler and broil until the top is set and the cheese is melted.
- Slide the frittata onto a large plate and cut into wedges.
- Serve the remaining pico de gallo alongside.
