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

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

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
