Greens Frittata With Mozzarella and Prosciutto
- 5 to 6 ounces arugula, spinach or chard, stemmed and sliced into 1/2-inch ribbons
- 2 small garlic cloves, minced
- Salt and pepper
- Olive oil
- 8 large organic eggs
- Pinch of red pepper flakes
- 2 tablespoons grated parmigiano
- 1/4 pound fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced
- 3 or 4 slices prosciutto, torn into strips.
- Put the greens in a large mixing bowl.
- Add the garlic, season with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
- Toss the greens with your hands to coat the leaves.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- Add the red pepper flakes and parmigiano.
- Pour the egg mixture over the greens and stir them together.
- Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or 9-inch omelet pan on medium-high.
- Pour in a film of olive oil and let it heat.
- Add the frittata mixture and let it cook briskly, lifting the edges with a spatula and tilting the pan to help the bottom set.
- Reduce the heat to prevent the bottom from over-browning and quickly arrange the sliced mozzarella and prosciutto over the surface.
- Cook for about 3 minutes.
- Place a large plate over the pan, then carefully invert the frittata onto the plate.
- Return the pan to the heat, add a touch more olive oil, and slip the frittata back into the pan, uncooked side down, for another 2 minutes.
- (Alternatively, leave the frittata in the pan and finish under a broiler).
- Slide the frittata onto a platter.
- Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.
