Ham And Fontina Frittata Recipes

HAM AND SWISS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven broiler. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Reserve the skillet for cooking the frittata.
• Meanwhile, whisk the half-and-half and eggs together in a medium bowl with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper until smooth. Add the cooled shallots, cheese, parsley and chives and stir to combine.
• Heat the reserved skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir a few times. Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom sets, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until the eggs are just set, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Slide the frittata out onto a large plate or cutting board. Cut into wedges and sprinkle with more chives and serve warm or room temperature with a green salad if desired.

HAM AND PEAS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Whisk together the eggs, milk, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of pepper in a large bowl. Add the peas, Swiss cheese and ham and stir to combine.
• Heat the oil in a medium ovensafe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the egg mixture and cook until the edges start to set, about 2 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake until the center is set, 15 to 20 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before sliding carefully onto a serving plate and cutting into wedges.

HAM AND EGG FRITTATA

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Beat eggs and milk in a bowl.
• Melt butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat; cook and stir potatoes, ham, onion, and garlic in melted butter until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add water if vegetables become dry. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour egg mixture over vegetable mixture. Cook, without stirring, until eggs are slightly browned on the bottom.
• Broil in the preheated oven until eggs are nearly set, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over eggs and continue broiling until frittata is completely set and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.

ONION, HAM, AND CHEESE FRITTATA

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.

FRITTATA WITH ASPARAGUS, TOMATO, AND FONTINA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Set aside. Heat the oil and butter in a 9 1/2-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the tomato and a pinch of salt and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus mixture and cook for a few minutes until the eggs start to set. Sprinkle with cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 2 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown on top, about 5 minutes. Let the frittata stand 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a plate.

GREEN BEAN, HAM, AND CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Heat oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add green beans, ham, and scallions (skillet will be full). Cover and cook, stirring occasionally until green beans are crisp-tender, about 6 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; add to skillet, and tilt to distribute evenly. Gently press down on vegetables to cover them with egg mixture. Cook, without stirring, until edges are slightly set, about 1 minute.
• Transfer to oven; bake until center is set, 25 to 30 minutes. Run a wooden or rubber spatula around edges; slide frittata onto a platter, and cut into 4 wedges.
