How to Make Potato And Prosciutto Frittata Italian Omelet

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches), melt 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 pounds of potatoes, peeled and diced into ½-inch cubes, 2 cloves of minced garlic, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently, until potatoes are slightly tender.
  4. Stir in 8 ounces of chopped cremini mushrooms, 4 ounces of diced prosciutto, 1 teaspoon dried basil, and ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and liquid has evaporated.
  5. Remove skillet from heat and let the mixture cool for 5 minutes.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together ½ cup milk, ¼ cup heavy cream, and 8 large eggs until light and frothy.
  7. Pour the egg mixture over the potato mixture in the skillet, stirring gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
  9. Remove from oven and sprinkle evenly with 1 cup of grated Gruyère cheese and ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the eggs are set but still slightly moist.
  11. Broil on high for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is lightly browned and golden. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  12. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
