Frittata with tuna and tomatoes
Frittata
with tuna and tomatoes
“When I was growing up, we used to havefrittata for dinner often because it is fast and easy to make, and we’d snack
on leftovers after coming home from school the next day. It’s good anytime,
really, and is also a great make-ahead lunch to take to work, either with a small green
salad or sandwiched between two slices of bread.”
Serves 4
6
large eggs, at room temperature
¼
cup whole milk, at room temperature
3
tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
½
teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2
(5-ounce) cans tuna packed in olive oil, drained and flaked into ½-inch pieces
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
2
plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
Directions
1.
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 400ºF.
2.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, parsley, anchovy paste, salt
and pepper. Fold in the tuna.
3.
In an ovenproof, 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the oil and butter over medium-high
heat.
Add
the egg mixture and cook, without stirring, for 5 minutes.
Scatter
the tomatoes on top and continue to cook until a crust forms on the underside
and the
sides
of the mixture have set, about 3 minutes longer.
4.
Put the skillet in the oven and bake until the center is set, 6 to 8 minutes.
Using a heat-resistant spatula, loosen the sides of the frittata and slide onto
a serving plate.
5.
Cut the frittata into wedges and serve hot or at room temperature.
The
frittata will keep for 3 to 4 days in a covered container in the refrigerator.
