Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups leftover ham, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 green onions, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. In a 10 inch cast iron skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add ham, cooking for 2-3 minutes or until slightly browned. Add garlic and cook for another minute.
- While cooking the ham, whisk together the eggs, milk, cheese, green onions and salt. Add egg mixture to skillet and cook until bottom begins to set, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer skillet to oven and cook for 20-25 minutes or until the top is set.
Notes
- Use whole full fat dairy which gives the frittata its flavor. You can substitute milk for yogurt or sour cream.
- Don’t mess with the egg to dairy ratio or you won’t get the right consistency.
- Don’t use pre-shredded cheese. It doesn’t taste as good and also has addition ingredients that you don’t need.
- Cast iron skillets are the only way to go for a frittata. Don’t consider anything else.
- You know the frittata is done when the center is slightly jiggly and the edges are golden brown.
