Photo: Chicken and Orzo Frittata Recipe
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup orzo pasta
- 6 eggs
- 1/3 cup whole milk ricotta
- 1/4 cup creme fraiche
- 2 cooked chicken breasts, cubed (about 2 cups)
- 4 scallions, chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped Italian flat-leaf parsley
- 1/3 cup diced roasted red bell peppers
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the orzo and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta.
In a large bowl combine the eggs, ricotta, and creme fraiche and stir until the eggs are beaten and the ingredients are combined. Add the cooked orzo, chicken, scallions, parsley, red bell peppers, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
Pour the mixture into a 1 1/2-quart baking dish. Bake for 25 minutes. Turn on the broiler. Place the pan under the broiler until golden on top, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and let set for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with a side salad.

Wow was this bad. It was dry, flavorless, and my family actually asked me not to make it again. It also took almost 50 minutes for the eggs to set. At 25 minutes it was still 100% liquid. Would not make again.

Fearing it would be bland, I added sweet Italian sausage and thyme, as well as more salt and and pepper. My family found it lacking taste and felt the were eating breakfast for dinner. I would try spicy Italian sausage as well as sauteed onion/garlic next time to kick up the flavor and complexity.

This is wonderful, have made it many times since December when I first saw it on TV. My 3 year old granddaughter loves it, and has a sensitive stomach and cannot eat everything, but she likes this. So does the rest of the family. We cut it into squares and have it for breakfast or my granddaughter takes it to nursery school and finishes it at morning snack time. Great for breakfast with company. It comes out perfect every time. Love, love,love this recipe.
