Preparation time: 10 minutes
Baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 4 boiled potatoes
- 6 fresh eggs
- 200 g mozzarella
- 150 g ham, diced
- 2 green onions
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sweet paprika, to taste
- Butter, for greasing the dish
Step by step for a perfect frittata:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by peeling the boiled potatoes and cutting them into cubes of about 1 cm. They will add consistency and a pleasant taste to your frittata. Chop the green onions into thin rounds, and cut the mozzarella into cubes. These ingredients will combine perfectly, offering a creamy texture and savory flavor.
2. Sautéing the ingredients: In a large skillet, add a tablespoon of butter and let it melt over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it becomes translucent. This step will add extra flavor to your frittata.
3. Adding the potatoes and ham: Once the onion is sautéed, add the potato cubes and ham. Gently mix them and let them heat for 5 minutes. This will help enhance the flavor of the ingredients.
4. Beating the eggs: In a separate bowl, beat the 6 eggs with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a little sweet paprika, to taste. The well-beaten eggs will bind all the ingredients and create a fluffy structure.
5. Combining the ingredients: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the onion, potatoes, and ham. Make sure the ingredients are well combined. Let the frittata cook on low heat for about 5 minutes until the eggs start to set.
6. Adding mozzarella: When the frittata begins to set, add the mozzarella cubes on top. They will melt and give a creamy flavor to the dish.
7. Baking the frittata: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Transfer the skillet to the oven and let it bake for 15-20 minutes. Check the frittata from time to time; it is ready when the top is golden and the cheese is completely melted.
8. Serving: Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. You can serve it warm, alongside a fresh green salad or with toasted bread. A garnish of cherry tomatoes or olives can add an extra splash of color and flavor.
Practical tips:
- You can experiment with different types of cheese, such as feta or cheddar, to change the flavor profile of the frittata.
- Add vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for extra nutrients and color.
- If you prefer a lighter frittata, you can reduce the amount of cheese or ham.
This potato and ham frittata recipe is not only easy to prepare but also versatile, allowing it to be adapted to your personal tastes. Enjoy every bite and cherish the time spent in the kitchen!
