corn, potato, & scallion frittata / simple salad

Contents of your meal kit:

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

Equipment needed: microwave-safe bowl, mixing bowl, oven-safe nonstick skillet

Finishing steps:

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler. Chop garlic, set aside. Slice the scallion, keeping white and green parts separate.
  2. Slice fingerling potatoes crosswise into ¼-inch slices. Place in a microwave-safe bowl, along with 2-3 tablespoons of water. Cover with plastic wrap, and poke a few holes to let steam escape. 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 nonstick skillet (small for 2 portions, medium for 4/6 portions). When oil is hot, add steamed potatoes, white part of scallion, and chopped garlic. Sauté together 3-5 minutes or until golden. Pour egg mixture into pan, stir once to combine, then 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. 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.

Notes

  • Most pans 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?   Use the following modification:  follow the recipe through step 4, then instead of adding eggs to pan, add the ingredients from the pan into the bowl with your egg mixture.  Stir quickly to combine, and transfer everything into a parchment lined baking pan (example pictured below).  Bake in a 375 degree oven for 10 minutes (or until puffed and golden)
