Potato and Boursin Frittata
I love a frittata for dinner. They can be quick and easy and served with a salad make a very satisfying light dinner. I always make a full recipe which usually serves 4 people so I have leftovers for lunch the next day. Once again, many thanks to epicurious.com
Potato and Boursin Frittata
8 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes (from a 16-oz bag)
1 bunch scallions, chopped (2 cups)
1 (5-oz) package Boursin garlic-herb cheese, chilled
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 375°F.
Whisk together eggs, salt, and pepper until just combined.
Heat oil in an ovenproof 9- to 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet over high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add potatoes and scallions to oil, stirring once, then cover and cook until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Stir potato mixture once, then cover and cook 3 minutes more.
Pour beaten eggs evenly over potato mixture and crumble cheese over eggs. Transfer skillet to oven and bake frittata, uncovered, until set and just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Invert a plate over skillet and, holding them together with oven mitts, invert frittata onto plate and serve immediately.
