Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes, cored, seeded, and chopped (about 2 cups)
  • 2 large (or 3 medium) ears sweet corn, kernels scraped off the cob (about 2 cups)
  • 1 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 bunch (6 to 8) scallions, trimmed and sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and finely chopped
  • Coarse sea salt or kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces

Directions

Set a rack on the top shelf of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.

In a large ovenproof skillet over high heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the tomatoes and saute for 2 minutes. Add the corn, cilantro, scallions, garlic, and jalapeno and saute for 2 more minutes or until the garlic is fragrant and the mixture thickens. Transfer the vegetables to a plate and let cool for several minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

In a large bowl, season the eggs with salt and pepper. Beat them lightly with a fork, only enough to mix the whites and the yolks. Add the cooled vegetables and cold butter and stir to combine.

Wipe out the skillet with a paper towel and put it over medium heat. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, swirling it all around and up the sides of the pan. Add the egg and vegetable mixture and stir gently with the back of a fork without touching the bottoms and sides of the pan. Cover the pan, lower the heat, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the bottom of the frittata begins to set. Remove the cover and transfer the pan to the top shelf of the oven and bake until golden brown and puffed, about 15 minutes.

Slide the frittata onto a serving platter, cut it into wedges, and serve immediately or cool and serve at room temperature.

    This frittata recipe was outstanding. I'm not a huge fan of eggs, so I greatly appreciated the volume of vegetables. The frittata was very full flavored, and pleasantly spicy from the jalapeno. What most impressed me though was the presentation -- the bright red tomatoes, yellow corn, and verdent herbs were beautiful. It was summer on a plate! Served w/ salsa and corn tortillas, this was an extremely satisfying lunch.
