ONION, HAM, AND CHEESE FRITTATA



Onion, Ham, and Cheese Frittata image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, sliced
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
8 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 cup diced ham
1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs, like parsley, thyme, or dill
1 cup grated Swiss or cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Position a rack about 8 inches from the broiler and preheat.
  • Melt the butter in a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions get very soft, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and milk in a medium bowl with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and some pepper until smooth. Transfer onions to a bowl to cool. Reserve the skillet.
  • Stir the onions, ham, herbs and cheese into the eggs.
  • Heat the non-stick skillet. Pour the frittata mixture into the pan and stir to make sure the fillings are evenly arranged. Cook, stirring gently a couple times in the first minutes of cooking. Then let the mixture cook undisturbed until the bottom sets, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until the eggs are just set and brown, about 5 minutes. Take care not to overcook or the eggs will be dry. Remove from the oven, cover, and set aside for 5 minutes.
  • Invert the frittata onto a large plate or platter. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

  • Serve Ham and Cheese Frittata with Fresh Fruit.
  • Cost $4.48.
  • For the stovetop only, you could probably cook it for a lot longer over LOW heat until the eggs in the middle cook through.
  • Another way would be to saute the garlic, onions, potatoes and ham in the skillet. Then place those into an 8x8-inch baking dish, then pour the eggs over and bake it. It may take a bit longer to bake since you don't cook the eggs on the stovetop at all. Just bake it until the eggs have set in the middle.

HAM & CHEESE SANDWICH FRITTATA



Ham & Cheese Sandwich Frittata image

This quick and easy frittata is great for brunch but is hearty enough for a tasty dinner. Packed with the garlic, onion, and mustard you taste those flavors in every bite. What we really loved was the butter toasted bread addition - so yummy. While the recipe calls for deli ham, this would be great with leftover baked ham too.
