Mama's
Frittata
Potato, Ham, Zucchini, Spinach
Serves 2-4
Ingredients
2 sm. Red Potatoes
½ ham steak
1 chopped garlic
1 Onion - diced
1 zucchini - chopped
½ pkg of sliced mushrooms
½ pkg of washed spinach
6 eggs w a dash of milk
mixed together
½ to ¾ pkg. of Shredded
Cheese
(I use Italian mix with a few slices of Havarti dill as well)
Olive Oil
Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste
Mix eggs and milk together
lightly. Set aside.
Dice red potatoes and fry
in T. of oil until done. Set
aside.
On medium to high heat in
small to medium non-stick frying pan sauté garlic, onions &
ham with ¼ cube of butter.
Add zucchini, mushrooms and
continue cooking until they start to soften.
Add salt & pepper to taste.
Add red potatoes.
Add spinach and cook until
wilted. Continue
cooking lowering heat to a simmer mixing all ingredients for a few more
minutes. You want
everything lightly cooked al dente.
Sprinkle cheese on top of
mixture and slowly add egg mixture.
Lay in havarti slices.
Cover and continue cooking
on simmer for 15-20 minutes
or until egg starts to firm up. Take
off cover, continue cooking until top of frittata continues to firm up.
Once firm slide spatula along the edges of frittata to break it
away from the sides. Continue
trying to slowly lift the edges and shake the pan until you can see the
frittata moving freely in the pan.
Use plate approx. the same
size as your pan to cover
the top of the frying pan. With
a swift and smooth movement flip pan and plate upside down so the
frittata will fall onto the plate.
Slide frittata back into the pan and cook for another 10 – 15
min. on simmer.
Use the same process to
remove cooked frittata from the pan on to serving plate.
Sprinkle with more cheese
to melt on top.
Let
rest for 5-10 minutes. Cut
in slices and serve.
