Tips For Frittata Fixings

Eggs: Use fresh eggs or boxed eggs mixed with half-and-half or cream, and a handful of savory spices.
Potatoes: Use fresh potatoes per the recipe below or swap them for thawed hashbrowns, leftover roasted potatoes, or even cooked pasta. We’ve made this with leftover spaghetti noodles many times!
Vegetables: Swap in any variety of veggies like mushrooms, asparagus, spinach, or bell peppers.
Cheese: Cheddar cheese is a personal favorite with ham, but any hard, shredded cheese will work. Try pepper Jack or Swiss.

Flavorful Frittata Twists: Sauteed mushrooms and onions, diced bell peppers, sundried tomatoes, and sliced black olives are good additions to a frittata.

Holly’s Tips

Avoid overloading the frittata with too many extras, or it won’t set properly once it’s baked.
Place the baked frittata under the broiler for a couple of minutes so the cheese is browned and bubbly.
Instead of whisking, place the eggs, milk, and seasonings in a blender and blend until foamy. This incorporates more air into them and results in an extra light and fluffy frittata.

Leftovers and Storage

Store this ham and cheese frittata in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Freeze a fully baked and cooled frittata (or individual portions) for 4 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
