Sweet Corn and Ham Egg Frittata
A fritatta is simply the Italian version of the American omelet. The ingredients can vary and really include whatever you prefer. We make quite a few varieties for our bed and breakfast guests at Whispering Pines B&B.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup diced ham diced
- 2 tablespoons red onion diced
- 1/4 cup sweet pepper (red, orange or yellow) diced
- 1/2 cup sweet corn fresh or frozen
- 1 cup spinach fresh, chopped or torn
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- 1/3 cup Smoked Gouda shredded
- 4 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Sour Cream
- Olive Oil
- Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
Directions:
- Heat broiler to low. Dice ingredients and set aside.
- Heat Olive Oil in nonstick pan over medium heat. Sauté ham, onions, pepper garlic, salt, until onions & red pepper soften and corn begins to caramelize (about 3 minutes). Add spinach and heat an additional 1 – 2 minutes until wilts.
- While veggies are sauteing, crack eggs into medium sized bowl and whisk with sour cream until creamy.
- Turn heat to medium-low and add egg mixture to skillet. Cook eggs, stirring occasionally from the outside-in until eggs are almost set. Remove skillet from heat and sprinkle cheese over the eggs.
- Place under broiler and watch closely for about 1-2 minutes, until cheese is melted and eggs are firm.
- Let stand about 3 minutes and cut in half. Garnish with cherub tomatoes and/or your favorite fresh herbs (parsley, basil, chives, ie.)
- Enjoy with a side of herb breakfast potatoes.
Notes
Note: If serving 4, double ingredients, use a 12” skillet and cut into triangles or for a group service, you can cut into squares.
