Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Position an oven rack approximately 6 inches from the broiler; preheat the broiler to high. (5 minutes)

02

Step
2 mins

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Set aside. (2 minutes)

03

Step
20 mins

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large, oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the potatoes, ham, onion, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden, about 15 minutes. If the vegetables begin to stick, add water a tablespoon at a time. Season generously with salt and pepper. (20 minutes)

04

Step
8 mins

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the vegetables. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetable mixture. Cook on the stovetop, without stirring, until the edges of the eggs begin to set and the bottom is lightly browned, about 8 minutes. (8 minutes)

05

Step
5 mins

Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated broiler. Broil until the frittata is nearly set but still slightly soft in the center, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle the shredded Cheddar cheese evenly over the top. (5 minutes)

06

Step
5 mins

Continue broiling until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the frittata is completely set, about 3-5 minutes more. (5 minutes)

07

Step
5 mins

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy! (5 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the vegetable mixture.
Feel free to substitute the Cheddar cheese with Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or any cheese that melts well.
If you don't have an oven-proof skillet, you can transfer the frittata to a greased baking dish after cooking it on the stovetop.
Fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley, make an excellent garnish.
