ha ha ha you’re a frittata ta ta
There really is no special story behind this recipe. I love to do frittatas and quiches with left over ham and when you throw in lots of vegetables you just can’t go wrong. I served this with a garden salad loaded with mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, red onions, fresh spinach & yellow bell pepper. I topped it with my “honey mustard salad dressing “ posted here on JAP. What a perfect summer Sunday dinner!

How To Make ha ha ha you’re a frittata ta ta
-
Step 1Cut the ham into bite size pieces.
-
Step 2Put the butter into a medium sautéing pan, and when it it’s all melted add the onions and sugar. Cook for about 10 minutes on a very low flame, stirring often.
-
Step 3After that time, add the red peppers and cook for about 10 more minutes on low.
-
Step 4Add a good helping of fresh ground pepper and the spinach to the onions and peppers.
-
Step 5Cook this for only about 1 minute longer, all you’re looking to do is wilt the spinach. Turn the heat off and give it a few more cranks of pepper.
-
Step 6In a bowl put the heavy cream, salt and the eggs and yolk and mix thoroughly.
-
Step 7Lightly spray the pie pan.
-
Step 8Put the hash browns on the bottom of the pan.
-
Step 9Then do a layer of cheese “ ½ of the 2 cups “.
-
Step 10Then add the ham, I do a couple of grinds of pepper on the ham but that is optional.
-
Step 11Then add the onion mixture.
-
Step 12Add the rest of the cheese.
-
Step 13And then pour the egg custard over the top and put the pie pan on the lined cookie sheet and bake at 35o for 45 minutes after that amount of time cover the frittata loosely with foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
-
Step 14Bake till the top is beautifully browned. Let this rest for about 10 – 15 minutes before cutting to set the custard.
-
Step 15Baking times will depend on your oven…so you’ll have to adjust the time and temperature accordingly.
