Ingredients

• Eggs & Dairy
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
• Meats
  • 1 cup diced cooked ham
• Vegetables
  • 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• Spices & Seasonings
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)
• For Cooking
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

1.

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2.

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.

3.

Add diced ham and cook for another 2 minutes. Stir in chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes; cook until spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.

4.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and thyme (if using). Stir in half of the shredded Swiss cheese.

5.

Pour the egg mixture evenly over the ham and vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

6.

Cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes until edges begin to set.

7.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and set in the center.

8.

Remove from oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung

Verwenden Sie eine gusseiserne oder andere ofenfeste Pfanne mit 10–12 Zoll Durchmesser, damit die Frittata gleichmäßig gart. Achten Sie darauf, die Eier nicht zu lange zu schlagen – so bleibt die Frittata saftig und locker. Die Pfanne vor dem Backen am Rand etwas lösen, um ein einfaches Herausnehmen der Stücke zu erleichtern.

Varianten und Anpassungen

Für Abwechslung können Sie Swiss Cheese durch Gruyère oder Cheddar ersetzen. Weitere Gemüsesorten wie Paprika oder Champignons passen ebenfalls gut dazu und bringen Farbe ins Spiel. Wer es würziger mag, gibt frische Kräuter oder Chiliflocken hinzu.

Serviervorschläge

Servieren Sie die Frittata warm direkt aus der Pfanne – perfekt zu einem frischen Blattsalat oder einer Scheibe knusprigem Brot. Zum Mitnehmen einfach abkühlen lassen, luftdicht verpacken und unterwegs genießen. Die Frittata hält sich im Kühlschrank bis zu vier Tage und lässt sich ideal portionsweise aufwärmen.
