Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 cups ham, diced
- 1 cups spinach, chopped
- 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in an oven-safe, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
Stir in the diced ham and cook for another 2 minutes until warmed through.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.
Reduce the heat to low and evenly spread the mixture across the bottom of the skillet.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and ham. Use a spatula to gently move the edges so the eggs start cooking evenly.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the frittata.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
