Western Frittata

A frittata is a celebration of fresh vegetables, rich eggs, and aromatic herbs, baked to perfection for a fluffy, hearty texture.

Each bite offers a harmonious blend of textures — tender vegetables, creamy egg custard, and a hint of cheese for extra richness .

The oven-baking process gives it a tender center and a slightly crisp top, while the natural sweetness of the vegetables and the richness of the eggs create a flavor profile that’s both comforting and vibrant.

Whether you’re enjoying it warm from the oven or reheating it for a quick meal, this frittata delivers on both taste and nutrition, making it a family favorite any time of day.

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 335 degrees F

2. Beat the eggs, milk, cheese, salt and pepper.

3. Add the ham, onions and peppers. Stir to mix.

4. Melt the butter in oil over medium heat, in an oven proof frying pan. Do not allow the butter to brown.

5. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Stir with a spatula briefly to combine and distribute the mixture evenly.

6. Once the bottom of the mixture begins to solidify, work around the pan with a spatula, lifting the outer edge of the frittata, allowing some of the liquid to run beneath.

7. Sauté the mixture over medium heat 2-3 minutes to form a thin skin on the bottom. Do not allow to brown.

8. Transfer the frittata to the oven.

9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the eggs are puffed and appear cooked, and the center of the frittata is firm.
