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!
