Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cups cooked ham, diced
- 1 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cups green onions, sliced
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat an ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat and melt the butter, ensuring it coats the bottom of the skillet.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the ham in the skillet.
Sprinkle the shredded Swiss cheese evenly across the top of the eggs, followed by the sliced green onions.
Cook on the stovetop for about 3-4 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and slightly puffed.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm and enjoy!
