Ingredients
- 8 large eggs plus 2 large egg whites
- 4 ounces white cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (1 cup)
- Coarse salt and ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 Gala apples, peeled, cored, and sliced lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick pieces
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with rack set in top third. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, and half the cheese; season with salt and pepper. In a medium cast-iron or nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat butter over medium. Add egg mixture; while it cooks, 1 to 2 minutes until edge is set, arrange apples on top in a circular pattern, starting from the outside edge, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
-
Transfer skillet to oven. Bake until frittata is set in the center and cheese is browned, about 20 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, release frittata onto a cutting board; let rest 5 minutes. Cut into wedges, and serve.
My kids (2 and 4) liked it. But my husband and I both thought it was bland. I even added bacon to the egg mix as others had suggested. Not something I will make again.
Hmmmmm, actually, I have some leftover smoked ham in the fridge. Guess what we're having for dinner!!! Can't wait.
This was so much better with sauteed bacon in the egg mix. Next time I have some leftover pancetta, I'll use that.
Easy and yummy.
This was ok but kind of bland. I agree with renorose, adding bacon would have made this so yummy.
I've never tried fruit in a fritatta before - what a great idea! Apples and cheddar go so well together. Looking forward to trying this!
This is such a good idea! Used applewood smoked cheddar and cooked, crumbled bacon - almost too yummy.
