White Bean, Creme Fraiche And Sage Frittata

serves 1
Recipe from cookthink


This light but still filling frittata goes well with a few strips of crisp bacon. If you go that route, try frying up some more sage leaves in the bacon grease before serving.

ingredients

3 eggs
1 tablespoon crème fraîche
1 cup white beans, rinsed and drained
1 teaspoon butter
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon fresh chopped sage (plus more for garnish)
Freshly ground pepper

timer

prep: 10 minutes
total: 15 minutes

tools

whisk
bowl
colander
oven-safe nonstick skillet

instructions

1. Preheat the broiler. Whisk three eggs together with the crème fraîche. Rinse and drain the beans.

2. Melt the butter in a small nonstick pan. Add the beans, and season with red pepper flakes, sage and pepper. Cook, stirring often for 3-4 minutes.

3. Pour the eggs over the beans, and stir to combine, shaking the pan to evenly distribute the ingredients. Let cook for 2 or so minutes to set, then place the pan under the broiler. When the top is set and browned, about 3 minutes, remove the frittata. Sprinkle with sage before serving.

Lovely. I love sage and any excuse to use it wins a gold star. This is a great recipe to modify; I added some extra veggies and the full amount of beans and it came out great. I really recommend serving it with bacon if you eat meat... bacon and sage is one of the great flavor combinations, in my opinion. Oh! Don't skip the creme fraiche; a bite of frittata, creme fraiche, and bacon all together is heaven!
