Equipment

8" square or 9" Round Baking Pan
Knife
Parchment Paper
Mixing Bowls

Ingredients

10 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk (any type works)
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
8 ounces deli ham, roughly chopped
6 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, finely cubed (or about 2 cups of shredded cheese)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF.
Line an 8-inch square or 9-inch round baking pan with parchment paper. (Don’t skip this step because it will make the frittata very easy to remove from the pan.)
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt. Make sure the mix is very smooth, with no visible egg whites. Pour this into the prepared pan.
Top the egg mixture with the ham and cheese. Use a spoon or spatula to gently fold the toppings evenly into the eggs.
Bake the frittata, uncovered, in the oven until the center is just set (it should still jiggle a little when you shake the pan), 30 to 35 minutes.
Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes at room temperature. Slice and serve!

Notes

Frittata can be served warm or chilled straight from the fridge. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Muffin Tin – Bake these in a muffin tin for mini frittatas that reheat well and can be frozen for quick meals. Grease the muffin tin well or use muffin liners to minimize sticking. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes at 350° F.
