    Onion, Ham, and Cheese Frittata


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    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

    Recipe



    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.
