Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 0.25 cup whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 cup ham, diced (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat the butter and olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat until the butter is melted and the pan is nicely coated.
Add the diced ham, if using, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to brown slightly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, followed by the grated Parmesan cheese.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake for 15 minutes or until the center of the frittata is set.
Remove from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes before sprinkling the fresh chives over the top.
Carefully slide the frittata out of the skillet onto a cutting board or serving platter.
Slice into wedges and serve warm, enjoying your delicious Cheese Frittata!
