Ham & Cheese Frittata

This picture doesn't do it justice. Very moist and flavorful. 


Ham & Cheese Frittata

1 Tbs olive oil 
4 eggs, beaten
2 slices deli ham, chopped finely
1 slice Swiss cheese
1/4 onion or 1/2 shallot, diced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
Herbs (preferably fresh thyme)

Preheat oven to 375*  Heat olive oil in an oven safe pan (such as a cast small cast iron).  Sauté onions and heat ham through. Break Swiss up and place over ham and onions. Immediately pour beaten eggs over mixture and gently stir a couple of times within a minute.  While the egg is still wet, lightly dust with salt and pepper and top with cheddar cheese. Place in the oven for 5-10 minutes (depending on how done your eggs are when you put it in the oven) until cheese is golden and bubbly. The frittata may bubble up a little.  Remove from oven and top with fresh or dried thyme. Let it set a moment and then loosen from the pan with a spatula and slide it onto a plate. Cut just before serving. Serves 2 but you can add more eggs to serve more.
