How to Make Ham and Cheese Frittata
Step 1
First, preheat your oven for 375 degrees F and spray your ceramic baking dish liberally with non-stick spray.
Step 2
Next, crack six eggs into a glass mixing bowl and beat them until they turn a pale yellow color and pour this into prepared ceramic baking dish.
Step 3
I like to use prepared hashed browned potatoes, like Simply Potatoes. Evenly distribute a handful or two over the egg mixture. You can also use finely chopped, peeled potatoes, if you’d like.
Step 4
Finish by adding chopped ham and onions and topping with shredded cheese.
Then, put the frittata into the oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 5
Remove and let cool for about five minutes before serving.
Slice and eat. It’s that simple!
