Spiced Hash Brown Frittata
A simple frittata recipe, with only a few basic ingredients and a technique that brings out the amazing flavor of the Incredible Edible Egg! Whipped in Kashmiri Lal Mirch, some milk and seasonings, then poured on top of a beautifully golden-crusted hash brown layer and then baked and sprinkled with cheddar cheese that melts right into the fluffy frittata. As delicious as any other egg creation, breakfast, brunch or dinner can't get any easier-or yummier!
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 5 large eggs (minus one egg yolk)
- 4 tbsp grape seed oil
- 1 tsp Kashmiri Lal Mirch
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp Kosher salt
- 1 cup shredded potatoes
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. In a large glass mixing bowl, add the eggs (remove the chalazae and one egg yolk), add the 1/4 cup whole milk and 1/2 tsp each of the Kashmiri Lal Mirch, black pepper and Kosher salt. Whisk together well for 2-3 minutes to incorporate the spices into the eggs and milk. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized skillet, heat the grape seed oil on high. Add the shredded potatoes and form a layer by pressing down with a spatula. Let cook on high heat for 1 minute and then turn heat to medium. Continue to cook the hash browns layer on medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Now sprinkle the remaining 1/2 tsp each of the Kashmiri Lal Mirch, black pepper and Kosher salt on the potatoes, cover skillet with lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Now, uncover skillet and slowly pour the whipped egg mixture on top. Cook for about 2 minutes and when eggs start to set, with a spatula, go around the edges of the skillet and evenly spread the egg mixture, and then with oven mitts on, carefully tilt and rotate the skillet as needed so egg mixture flows evenly. As eggs set, tilt and rotate the skillet again a few times to ensure all of the egg mixture slowly sets and evenly cooks. Agitate the edges with a spatula as well so an even crust forms all around the frittata. Now cover skillet, turn heat to low and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Then transfer covered skillet into preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Carefully remove skillet from oven, uncover, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, cover again with lid and let rest for 5 minutes
- Spiced Hash Brown Frittata is now ready to serve. All you need as an accompaniment to enjoy this superb brunch is a cup of coffee (and maybe an episode of 'I Love Lucy')! Nosh Farma'aiye!
