Easter is just a week away and what should we make for that upcoming brunch? How about a frittata? Quick, easy, and delicious, this frittata is the way to go! Frittata can also be a quick and easy dinner, just add a salad and you've got dinner under control and in 20 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 lb. lean ham, diced
- 4 eggs and 8 egg whites
- 1/2 cup skim milk
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 can artichoke hearts, rinsed and chopped
- 1 cup thinly sliced leeks (white and light green parts)
- 1/2 cup grated fontina cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Makes 6 servings
Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 450° F. In a 10-inch ovenproof
nonstick frying pan or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet,
cook leeks and sauté in cooking spray until softened, 1
to 2 minutes. Reduce to medium heat.
2. Whisk together eggs, milk, chives, salt and
pepper. Stir in ham and artichoke hearts.
3. Add egg mixture to skillet and stir to combine.
Cook 1 minute, then gently stir in 1/4 cup fontina and
the parmesan. Cook without stirring until edges of
frittata are set and the center is still a bit soft,
about 2 minutes (edges should appear firm when pan is
gently shaken; the top layer should appear wet).
4. Sprinkle remaining 1/4 cup fontina over top and
transfer skillet to preheated oven. Bake until eggs are
fully set and the top is light golden brown, 5 to 7
minutes. If top has not browned, broil frittata about 5
in. from heating element, keeping oven door ajar, until
lightly golden, about 1 minute.
5. Slice frittata into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.
