Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 cup Gruyere cheese ((shredded))
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 shallot ((sliced thin))
  • 1 cup smoked ham ((or leftover ham, diced))
  • parsley, green onion or chives ((for garnish, optional))

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Whisk the eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, and pepper together in a medium bowl. Stir in the Gruyere cheese. Set aside.
  • Melt the butter in a deep oven-proof skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots soften and turn light brown and caramelized, about 10 minutes.
  • Spread the shallots out evenly over the bottom of the pan.
  • Carefully pour the egg mixture over the top of the shallots. Cook an additional 1-2 minutes or just until you can see the frittata starting to set on the edges. Pull the edge of the frittata away from the pan to allow some of the uncooked egg to run underneath.
  • Sprinkle the diced ham over the top of the frittata.
  • Transfer the frittata to the oven and bake another 12-15 minutes, or until the center is just slightly jiggly. It will set more once it begins cooling.
  • Once slightly cooled, cut into 8 slices. Garnish with fresh parsley, green onion or chives, if desired.
