Bundt Pan Frittata

***UPDATE: See this post about our new eating habits. (7/10/11)I’m notorious for finding different uses for things in my kitchen……it keeps me from buying all sorts of what-nots to crowd up my cabinets. I saw this recipe on Saveur and had to try it. Frittata in a Bundt pan?! Not to mention that I just like saying Bundt…..there are so many fun kitchen words. Have you seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? “Oh! It’s a cake!” Not this time, baby.
 

I tweaked this recipe a bit. It called for some weird stuff and for fresh asparagus. I used canned asparagus instead….and cut wayyyyy back on the cheese. It called for two cups. Good night! Yes, I like cheese but I also like going to the bathroom. I made a few other changes too, but it turned out well and I’ll definitely make it again. Needed: Bisquick, milk, eggs, cheese, asparagus, pepper, salt, grated carrot, green onions, and yellow onions.

 

I’m really weird about crunchy stuff……especially in my food that’s supposed to be cooked. Yes, certain things are supposed to be crunchy – potato chips, pickles, bacon bits. However, I do not want to bite into crunchy carrots in my eggs. Do you? *Shiver* This recipe said to put the raw ingredients right into the egg mixture, but I wasn’t cool with that……so I switched it up. I put my carrots and yellow onion, that I had chopped up pretty small, in a microwave bowl with about 1 tablespoon of water and then I nuked them in the microwave for about 2 minutes. They came out nice and done….and soft. Bye bye, crunch!

 

So, instead of using fresh asparagus that’s NOT in season, I went the cheaper route and bought a can. Drain it and chop the asparagus into smaller pieces, about ¼ inch if you’re into measuring…..or just wing it if you’re like me. I can’t eat asparagus without thinking about Elf.

 

Spray the heck out of your bundt pan. I mean it. You don’t want your eggs sticking to it. It would totally ruin the presentation and upset your 16 month old. She is very concerned over how her eggs look…….or maybe that’s just her Mommy.

 

Now, beat your eggs in a large bowl. It’s fun to beat eggs! I used a whisk, but a fork would work too. Then add  the asparagus, onions, carrots, Bisquick, milk, and  1 cup cheese. Mix, mix, mix! It might be lumpy with Bisquick but that’s okay.

 

Pour the egg mixture into your bundt pan. The reason we chopped up our vegetables into small pieces instead of chunks is so that they wouldn’t all sink to the bottom (top) of the egg mixture. They can float if they’re small. They had swimming lessons.

 

Bake the eggs about 45 minutes. After that time, slide a knife down into the middle part and if it comes out clean then you know it’s done. You know how I feel about runny eggs. EW! See how pretty and puffy it is?! I was so proud of myself. I clucked around the kitchen……

 

I clucked too long. When I turned around, it had shrunk. I guess that’s what I get for clucking to myself. Actually, it’s supposed to shrink a bit, so don’t freak out when this happens. It’s just the eggs settling…or something like that.

 

You’ll let it set for about 15-20 minutes in the pan and let it cool a bit. Then take a big plate or platter and place it on top. Holding both, turn the pan over so the frittata falls out nice and pretty…..at least we hope so. You did spray it, right?

 

Here we have a beautiful Ring-O-Egg.  It smelled delicious…..I was starving. We were having company, though, so I couldn’t dig right in. Having company is a good exercise in self control.

I forgot to tell you to set aside some cheese. We used 1 cup in the eggs, but we need another ½ cup now. Mix the remaining cheese and the chopped green onions.
 

Sprinkle the cheese mixture around the top of the Bundt. It should be warm enough to melt it, but if not then you can just pop it in the microwave for a minute to get it all melty. I just stuck mine in the toaster oven and closed the door. It was warm enough to melt itself.

 

To serve, you just cut it like a cake! Easy, right? It’s really good and reheats well. It makes enough for 10, so you might have to make it for company or plan on enjoying it several mornings for breakfast.  I served it with Cinnamon Bun Pancakes. It must have been good, because I actually ate some WITH my pancakes instead of just jumping right into the pancake platter…..I just love those pancakes. They’ll be served in heaven…..this Frittata would make a great side dish there.

“There’s a hole in this cake.”

    Stacy–I tried this recipe but put a different twist on it. I used onions, peppers & mushrooms. Also, instead of using a bundt pan I used muffin pans (mainly because Pete doesn’t like mushrooms). One lesson learned — my silicon muffin pan didn’t turn out as nice as the ones that were in my muffin tin. The ones in the non-stick muffin tin browned more. Awesome recipe–a definite do again in the Dobbs house hold.
