Description

Imagine a vibrant and flavorful frittata gracing your table, a dish that captures the essence of a festive morning. This Christmas Frittata is a celebration of colors and tastes, a delightful combination of savory ingredients baked to golden perfection. Picture a medley of earthy mushrooms and sweet onions, gently sautéed until tender and fragrant.

These form the base of the frittata, their subtle flavors creating a warm and inviting foundation. Next, diced red poblano pepper adds a gentle heat, its vibrant color contrasting beautifully with the verdant spinach. These elements are cooked together until the spinach wilts and the pepper softens, releasing their distinct aromas.

Cubes of savory ham are then introduced, lending a smoky depth to the vegetable medley. The ham adds a satisfying heartiness, making this frittata a truly substantial and fulfilling dish. A generous pour of fresh eggs blankets the sautéed ingredients, their creamy texture promising a rich and comforting experience.

A simple seasoning of salt and pepper enhances the natural flavors, allowing the quality of the ingredients to shine through. Finally, salty feta cheese is crumbled over the top, its tangy bite adding a delightful counterpoint to the other savory notes. As the frittata bakes, the cheese melts and browns slightly, creating a visually appealing and irresistibly delicious crust.

The eggs cook to a custardy consistency, their delicate texture providing a perfect contrast to the heartier vegetables and ham. For those who prefer a firmer texture, the yolks can be gently broken and mixed with the other ingredients during baking, ensuring a uniformly cooked frittata. If desired, a blanket of melted cheese, such as Chihuahua or mozzarella, can be added for an extra layer of richness and indulgence.

The choice of cheese is entirely up to you, allowing you to customize the frittata to your personal preferences. Serve warm, allowing the aromas to fill the air and tantalize the senses. Each bite offers a symphony of flavors and textures, from the savory vegetables and ham to the creamy eggs and salty feta.

This frittata is not only a delicious and satisfying meal, but also a visually stunning centerpiece for any festive brunch.

Instructions

    1.
    Preheat an oven to 400 F. Heat a medium-sized heatproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add the ghee and cook until melted. Tilt the pan to distribute the oil evenly. Add diced onions and diced mushrooms to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until browned on the edges and softened. Add ¼ tsp kosher salt.
    2.
    Add the diced red poblano and ham. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
    3.
    Add the spinach on top and then immediately crack the eggs on top.
    4.
    Crack the eggs evenly spaced around the skillet. Sprinkle them with ¼ tsp kosher salt. Add black pepper on top if you would like.
    5.
    Sprinkle the top of the eggs with the feta cheese. Place the skillet into the oven and cook until the egg whites are opaque and the centers are to your liking.
    6.
    The cook time is about 10 minutes for medium-firm egg yolks. Add more or less time for a runny or firmer egg. Cut into four portions.
