Best Ham And Fontina Frittata Recipes

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.

HAM, MUSHROOM AND FONTINA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Arrange a rack 6 to 8 inches from the heating element; preheat broiler.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper and parsley; set aside.
• Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in an 8-inch cast iron or ovenproof non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Add mushrooms and ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add mushroom-ham mixture to reserved egg mixture while stirring the eggs constantly.
• Melt remaining 1 teaspoon butter in same skillet.
• Add egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally and running a heatproof rubber spatula around the edges from time to time, until eggs are just set and bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle with cheese and transfer to oven.
• Broil until eggs are completely set and cheese is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Set skillet aside for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer frittata to a cutting board and cut into wedges.
• Garnish with more parsley, if you like.

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.

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.

FRITTATA WITH HAM AND ROASTED PEPPER

Steps:

• In a bowl, with a whisk, whisk eggs, milk and Dijon mustard. Add croutons, ham and half the cheese, half bell peppers and half green onions. Pour the mixture of eggs in a greased pie plate of 9 inches or an 8 inches greased square pan. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, bell pepper and green onion.
• Cook in a preheated oven of 350 F for about 20 minutes or until the frittata is golden and the eggs are set. Keep cooking under the preheated grill for about 2 minutes or until frittata is golden and is lightly puffed. Put the pan on a rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to loosen the edges from the pan and cut in wedges.

HAM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Heat oil in a non stick frypan, add ham cubes and onions.

• Move mixture around just a little.
• Place lid on frypan and leave on high heat until bottom is set, being careful not to burn.
• Do not remove lid.
• Place covered frypan on middle rack in oven and cook approximately 20 minutes, until well risen and golden (I have a see-through lid on my frypan).
