Ingredients for Apple Gorgonzola Frittata

  • 4 large eggs
  • Half And Half
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Black Pepper
  • Tart Apple
  • Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped
  • Garlic Clove
  • Olive Oil

How to Make Apple Gorgonzola Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper until light and frothy.
  3. In a small bowl, toss apple slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
  4. In a 7-inch ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and celery and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. Remove garlic (optional, if you prefer a milder flavor).
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Sprinkle evenly with the apple slices and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
  6. Cover the skillet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are almost set.
  7. Remove the skillet from the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the eggs are fully cooked.
  8. Let the frittata stand for 5 minutes before cutting into wedges and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
