Serrano Ham and Swiss Cheese Frittata Recipe

Serrano Ham and Swiss Cheese Frittata Recipe

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/3 cup finely chopped yellow onion
  • 1 garlic clove, very finely chopped
  • 5 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup chopped serrano ham
  • 2/3 cup grated Swiss cheese
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
  1. Heat the boiler. Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until clear and translucent, about 1 minute. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, ham, 1/3 cup of the cheese, thyme, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Add egg mixture to onions and cook, without stirring, about 8 minutes, or until the bottom and edges are set but center is still soft.
  3. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on the top of the frittata. Broil about 4 inches from the heat until the cheese is bubbling, about 1 minute. Transfer to a cutting board, cut into wedges, and serve.
