• 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.

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.

WILD MUSHROOM FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat a 10-inch nonstick skillet, with oven safe handle over medium to medium-high heat. Wrapping a rubber handle in foil will allow the pan to transfer to oven as well.
• To hot pan, add oil and mushrooms. Season mushrooms with thyme, salt and pepper. Cook 3 to 5 minutes until all of the veggies are tender. Beat eggs with salt and pepper, dash of half-and-half, lemon zest, scallions and hot sauce. Pour over the mushrooms. Lift and settle eggs in the pan as they brown on the bottom. When the eggs are set but remain uncooked on top, transfer to oven for 7 or 8 minutes, until frittata is golden brown and puffy. Sprinkle the frittata with cheese and return to the oven for 1 or 2 minutes.
• Serve frittata from the hot pan and cut into 6 wedges at the table.

MUSHROOM, LEEK, AND FONTINA FRITTATA

Steps:

• Place a rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 350°F. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10" nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add leeks; cook, stirring often, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until softened and all liquid has evaporated, 8-10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk eggs, crème fraîche, and parsley in a large bowl; mix in 1/2 cup cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
• Increase the heat to medium-high and add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the mushrooms, shaking the pan to evenly distribute mixture. Cook the frittata, without stirring, until its edges begin to set, about 5 minutes.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup cheese over eggs and transfer skillet to oven. Bake frittata until golden brown and center is set, 25-30 minutes.

• Preheat broiler; in a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, salt, thyme, pepper, 1 cup cheese, and parsley.
• Pour over vegetables in the skillet; decrease heat to med-low, cover, and cook until eggs are set and the top is almost dry, 10-12 minutes.
• Sprinkle remaining ½ cup cheese on top; broil until frittata is puffy and cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
• Let stand for 5 minutes; cut into wedges and serve.
