I've made this recipe several times and it's always one of the first ones I think about when we're having guests for breakfast or brunch. It's even simpler if you use the jarred roasted peppers. It's always been a hit. Ingredients:
3 medium red bell peppers |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon baking powder |
9 large eggs |
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted |
1 1/2 cups extra-sharp cheddar cheese, coarsely grated (6 ounces) |
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese (8 ounces) |
1 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, grated (2 ounces) |
3 scallions, finely chopped (1/2 cup) |
2 scallions, slivered for garnish |
Directions:
1. Roast peppers on racks of gas burners over high heat, turning with tongs, until skins are blackened, 10 to 12 minutes.
2. Or broil peppers on a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes.)
3. Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap, then let stand 20 minutes.
4. When cool enough to handle, peel peppers, discarding stems and seeds, and cut into 1/3-inch dice.
5. Preheat oven to 350°F
6. Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder into a small bowl.
7. Beat eggs in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high speed until doubled in volume, about 3 minutes.
8. Add butter, flour mixture, and cheeses and mix well at low speed, then stir in peppers and scallions.
9. Pour into a buttered 10-inch (6-cup) glass pie plate and bake in middle of oven (or lower third of oven if baking with bacon) until top is golden brown and a tester comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes.
10. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
