corn, potato & scallion frittata / simple salad

Contents of your meal kit:

organic eggs
scallion
fingerling potatoes
corn
smoked mozzarella
vinaigrette base
salad greens

Cookware needed: 2 mixing bowls (one microwave-safe), oven-safe nonstick skillet (see note), salad bowl

Finishing steps:

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler. Slice the scallion, keeping white and green parts separate.
  2. Slice fingerling potatoes crosswise into ¼-inch slices. Place in microwave-safe bowl, with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Cover with plastic wrap, poke a few holes to let steam escape, and microwave for 2-3 minutes or until tender; drain.
  3. Use a sharp knife to remove the corn from the cob. Start by placing the flat cut end of each piece down on your cutting board then slice down between the kernels and the cob.
  4. Crack eggs into a bowl and season generously with salt & pepper. Whisk together, and then stir in shredded mozzarella cheese and green part of scallion.
  5. Heat a small amount of oil in an oven-safe skillet over med-high heat. When oil is hot, add steamed potatoes, corn, and white part of scallion. Sauté 3-5 minutes, until golden. Pour egg mixture into skillet, stir once to combine, and immediately transfer to oven.
  6. Cook under broiler until puffed and lightly brown (1-3 minutes). You can insert a knife into the center to test for doneness. If your frittata is browning too much but not cooked through, cover with foil and return to the broiler to continue cooking. Slide onto a plate, or let cool slightly to slice and serve directly from skillet.
  7. Pour vinaigrette base into the bottom of a salad bowl, add an equal amount of olive oil and whisk or mix with a fork to combine. If this looks like too much dressing, remove some before tossing with the greens. Season with salt & pepper to taste.   Serve the salad alongside a slice of the frittata.

Note: Choose a small skillet for 2 portions, medium for 4/6. Most skillets are oven safe for a brief amount of time. If yours has a plastic or rubber handle, wrap foil around it to protect.   Aren’t sure about putting your pan in the oven? Check the website for an alternative option.
