Ingredients for Frittata With Ham And Roasted Pepper

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Crouton
  • 1 cup diced cooked ham
  • Fontina
  • Roasted Red Pepper

How to Make Frittata With Ham And Roasted Pepper

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup milk, and 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard.
  3. Add 1/2 cup croutons, 1/2 cup diced cooked ham, 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Gruyere recommended), 1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers (diced), and 1/4 cup chopped green onions to the egg mixture. Gently combine.
  4. Grease a 9-inch pie plate or 8-inch square baking pan. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese, 1/2 cup roasted red bell peppers (diced), and 1/4 cup chopped green onions over the top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and golden brown on top.
  7. Switch to the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to avoid burning, until the top is lightly puffed and golden.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack.
  9. Carefully loosen the edges of the frittata with a spatula and slice into wedges to serve.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
