LEMON-HERB TURKEY FRITTATA
AND RATATOUILLE NAPOLEON
Adapted from Source: Chef Walter Staib
Servings: 4

1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
1 medium red onion, julienned
1 large red bell pepper, finely julienned
1 large green bell pepper, finely julienned
2 portobello mushrooms, stems and gills removed, finely julienned
6 to 8 large eggs
1 pound angel hair pasta, cooked al dente
1/2 pound Dietz & Watson® Provolone cheese, julienned
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 pounds Dietz & Watson® Lemon Herb Butter Breast of Turkey, julienned
1 teaspoon stemmed and finely chopped fresh thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1/2 stick butter
Ratatouille, for serving (recipe follows)
Chive blossoms, for garnish

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat, toss in the garlic, onion, mushrooms, and bell peppers, and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, and set aside in the refrigerator to chill.

Stir together the eggs, pasta, cheese, turkey, thyme, basil, oregano, and chilled sautéed vegetables in a large bowl, and season with salt and pepper.

Heat the butter and remaining oil in a sauté or omelet pan over medium-high heat, and add about one-eighth of the egg mixture, shaping it into a cake about 1/2 inch thick and 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Brown on each side for about 3 minutes, then remove the frittata to a baking sheet. Repeat seven more times with the remaining mixture.

Place the frittatas in the oven and bake for about 8 minutes, until cooked through.

Place one frittata in the center of each plate. Top with a generous amount of ratatouille and finish with another frittata to make a Napoleon. Garnish with the chive blossoms.
