Here is a new recipe I recently tried. It is really good, but I have already thought of several ways to improve on it.

I am sharing the basic recipe now.

Once I play with the recipe and figure out what I am going to change or add, I will post the recipe with the changes.

Enjoy!

Potato and Boursin Frittata

makes 4-6 servings

Ingredients: 

  • 8 extra large Eggs
  • 1 Tablespoon Canola Oil
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter
  • 2 cups freshly shredded Russet Potatoes (I used Yukon Potatoes)
  • 5 Scallions, finely chopped
  • 5-ounces Light Boursin Garlic and Herb Cheese
  • Kosher Salt and freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • Cayenne Pepper to taste (optional)

Directions:

Shred the potatoes.

Chop the scallions using the white and green sections.

Place an oven rack in top position and preheat the broiler.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and season with salt and pepper.   

Heat the oil and butter in an oven-proof 10-inch non-stick skilled over high heat until hot, but not smoking.

 Add the potatoes, stirring to coat the potatoes in the butter and oil.  

Cover and cook until the potatoes begin to brown, about 4-6 minutes.

Add the scallions, season with a pinch of salt, pepper and cayenne pepper and stir until combined with the potatoes.

Cover and cook for another 3-5 minutes.  Check the potatoes for browning and tenderness.  

You may need to stir, cover, and cook for a few more minutes until the potatoes are to your liking.

Add the eggs evenly over the potato mixture and place small dollops of the Boursin cheese over the eggs.

Reduce the heat to medium and cover for 3-5 minutes, or until the frittata is starting to set around the edges.

 Uncover the skillet and place under the broiler until the frittata is just set, about 5-7 minutes.

Using a heat-proof rubber spatula, carefully loosen the edges of the frittata and slide onto a serving platter.  Cut into wedges; serve warm or at room temperature along with sliced smoked salmon or prosciutto.  

Enjoy!

    Looks really good. Now I must start thinking of what I will have for dinner. I have just finished my weekly post about my quest for a replacement for Home Pride bread so am really hungry now :-).

  7. I understand! I just ate and now I’m ready to go looking for a snack! 😉

  8. That looks beautiful! Yet another reason I get sad that I have an intolerance to eggs, because I want to eat that frittata. Enjoy a piece for me. 😉

  9. Well do! Sorry I don’t have a sub for eggs…. yet 😉 Thank you!

    This is delicious from Bell Grove Plantation…..enjoy for brunch tomorrow.

  15. Another lovely and delicious sounding dish! I can’t wait to see your updates on it =0)
    I love Boursin so I imagine its super creamy- yum!! Would you say that basil chiffonade and sun dried tomatoes would work? (And then you’d replace the oil with EVOO)

  16. Oh yes! That one would be so delish! I used EVOO for the oil when I cooked this time so it should work for this too! Thank you!

  17. That sounds so delicious! And seems pretty simple too!

  18. It is good and very simple. Make is easy to do during the week for dinner. Thank you!

  22. You are so welcome! We look forward to seeing more of your blog in the future! Thank you!

  23. Looks good, Will have to try it. It is cold, wet and rainy here so I made Brunswick stew today.. I used a recipe from an Atlanta chef and put Jack Daniel’s barbecue sauce in the stew. Seemed right for a Tennessee girl from from home. It was yum, too!

  24. Oh Yum!!! I love a good Brunswick stew! Do you have the recipe on your blog? I would love to try it! Thank you!

  25. Wicked!

  26. Yes, I have to say it was 😉

  27. Jennifer Says:

    I’m not familiar with the cheese you used or what I would swap it with, but that looks really yummy 🙂

  28. It is just a crack spread that’s a little more upscale than the average. At my grocery, it was placed with the high end cheeses. Thank you!

  29. GrayFoxDown Says:

    Holy Feast of Falstaff! I always become decidedly hungry when I visit here.

  39. It wasn’t hard at all! Frittatas are hard at all. Mix, pour and bake. That’s it. We can’t wait to try some new ways. Thank you!

    I actually make this and oh my gawd does it wake up a sleepy soul. But as a Southerner, I place it beside some good old hominy grits with a cap of goat cheese and a few jalapeno and banana peppers sprinkled over the grits 🙂
    I also on occasion add fried catfish to this wonderful meal…
    Great recipe virginiaplantation, Thank You 🙂
