Ham Mushroom And Fontina Frittata Recipes

HAM, MUSHROOM AND FONTINA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Arrange a rack 6 to 8 inches from the heating element; preheat broiler.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper and parsley; set aside.
• Melt 1 teaspoon of the butter in an 8-inch cast iron or ovenproof non-stick skillet over medium heat.
• Add mushrooms and ham and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are just tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add mushroom-ham mixture to reserved egg mixture while stirring the eggs constantly.
• Melt remaining 1 teaspoon butter in same skillet.
• Add egg mixture and cook, stirring occasionally and running a heatproof rubber spatula around the edges from time to time, until eggs are just set and bottom is golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Sprinkle with cheese and transfer to oven.
• Broil until eggs are completely set and cheese is golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Set skillet aside for 2 to 3 minutes, then transfer frittata to a cutting board and cut into wedges.
• Garnish with more parsley, if you like.

HAM AND CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Saute mushrooms, pepper and onions until tender. In a bowl, beat eggs until foamy; stir in ham. Pour over the vegetables. Let eggs set on the bottom, then lift the edges to allow any uncooked egg to flow underneath. Cover and cook until the eggs are set, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle with cheese and cut into wedges to serve.

FRITTATA WITH ASPARAGUS, TOMATO, AND FONTINA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Set aside. Heat the oil and butter in a 9 1/2-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the tomato and a pinch of salt and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus mixture and cook for a few minutes until the eggs start to set. Sprinkle with cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 2 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown on top, about 5 minutes. Let the frittata stand 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a plate.

HAM AND FONTINA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Trim any connective tissue and all fat off ham steak. Mince the meat into very small bits and set aside.
• Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with oven safe handle over moderate heat. Add oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and coat sides and bottom of pan evenly with melted butter and oil mixture. Add ham bits to the pan and saute 3 minutes to brown them a bit and render some of the moisture in the meat.
• Whisk together eggs and milk or half-and-half. Break off tiny pieces of remaining 1 tablespoon butter and drop them into beaten eggs. Season eggs with a little salt and pepper and whisk again to combine. Pour eggs into skillet over ham. Stir eggs gently to evenly distribute bits of ham throughout the eggs.
• As eggs set, lift up bottom skin that has formed and allow uncooked eggs to settle. Keep doing this as eggs brown until the eggs begin to set. Transfer the pan to the oven, and allow the frittata to cook 10 minutes, or until golden on top. Add a generous layer of shredded fontina to the frittata and leave in oven another 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and begins to bubble and brown. Serve frittata wedges directly from the skillet with a pie server.

FRITTATA WITH HAM AND ROASTED PEPPER

Steps:

• In a bowl, with a whisk, whisk eggs, milk and Dijon mustard. Add croutons, ham and half the cheese, half bell peppers and half green onions. Pour the mixture of eggs in a greased pie plate of 9 inches or an 8 inches greased square pan. Sprinkle with remaining cheese, bell pepper and green onion.
• Cook in a preheated oven of 350 F for about 20 minutes or until the frittata is golden and the eggs are set. Keep cooking under the preheated grill for about 2 minutes or until frittata is golden and is lightly puffed. Put the pan on a rack and let cool for 5 minutes. Use a spatula to loosen the edges from the pan and cut in wedges.

HAM AND EGG FRITTATA

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Beat eggs and milk in a bowl.
• Melt butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat; cook and stir potatoes, ham, onion, and garlic in melted butter until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes. Add water if vegetables become dry. Season with salt and pepper.
• Pour egg mixture over vegetable mixture. Cook, without stirring, until eggs are slightly browned on the bottom.
• Broil in the preheated oven until eggs are nearly set, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle Cheddar cheese over eggs and continue broiling until frittata is completely set and cheese is melted, about 5 minutes more.

HAM, MUSHROOM & SPINACH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the grill to its highest setting. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a medium-high heat. Tip in the mushrooms and fry for 2 mins until mostly softened. Stir in the ham and spinach, and cook for 1 min more until the spinach has wilted. Season well with black pepper and a pinch of salt.
• Reduce the heat and pour over the eggs. Cook undisturbed for 3 mins until the eggs are mostly set. Sprinkle over the cheese and put under the grill for 2 mins. Serve hot or cold.
