A frittata is versatile

You can add pretty much anything to the basic recipe, and it’s a great way to use up leftovers. This is a version that has ham, onion, green peppers and cheese. I made it because packages of ham steaks were buy-one-get-one-free, so it was really economical to make.

During the summer, I grow green peppers in the garden. After harvesting the peppers, I dice some of them and freeze them to use throughout the winter.

I also freeze diced onion if I am chopping up some while I cook, and have a little too much extra for what I am cooking. Having some already chopped up really saves time when I am in a hurry.

Ingredients

Frittata recipe

  • pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees
  • use cooking spray, and grease a 9 x 13″ baking pan. (or an 8 x 8″ square baking pan for a half recipe)
  • beat 10 eggs (or 5 for a half recipe) with 1 cup of milk (or 1/2 cup for a half recipe)  – this egg & milk combination is the base for any frittata
  • dice ham into small cubes and spread over the bottom of the pan
  • dice a small onion and spread over ham
  • add diced green peppers over the ham & onions
  • shred cheddar cheese, and spread that on top of everything
Beaten eggs, shredded cheese, diced onion, ham and green peppers are the ingredients to make this delicious and easy frittata recipe.
  • carefully pour the eggs and milk mixture over everything
  • add salt & pepper to taste
  • bake for 30 minutes
