HERBY ROASTED PEPPER & HAM FRITTATA

January 19, 2021 by Lovoni +

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

There I was standing in front of my open fridge pondering what to make for dinner. I’m usually more organize. Herby Roasted Pepper & Ham Frittata came about because I had an abundance of wonderful farm-fresh eggs in my fridge & not a lot of fresh ingredients apart from some herbs. One of the most versatile recipes you could make has to be a frittata. You can add almost any veg, cooked meat, cheese and herbs to one. Not to mention a frittata transcends all meal times – perfect for breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner served simply with some tomatoes & baby salad greens tossed in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Serve this warm or cold; both are equally delicious.

HERBY ROASTED PEPPER & HAM FRITTATA

Every Thursday my husband brings home farm-fresh eggs from a man called ‘Animal’. Animal has chickens that get to run around outside during the day then be safe & cozy in their coop during the night. Not only are farm-fresh eggs better for you than eggs from chickens stuffed into god-awful cramped cages but it’s a much better life for the hens. If you think I’m being trite then visit a mass-egg-layering facility, you might make you think twice about where your eggs come from. And buying eggs marked “organic” or “cage-free” does not mean those chickens have a better life than caged hens as the cage-free are still cramped and peck at each other. Just as brown eggs do not mean they’re healthier than white.

  • HERBY ROASTED PEPPER & HAM FRITTATA

Your standard large egg in the US weighs about 56.7g (2oz) so if you’re buying eggs from a local farm or a friend who keeps hens, a set of scales will help you determine the size. Important for baking but not important for frittata or most other savory recipes.

Equipment

  • large non-stick, oven-safe skillet

Ingredients

US Customary – Metric
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups finely grated fresh parmesan
  • A good pinch of sea salt and freshly ground pepper
  • A pinch of nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely grated
  • 16 oz jar roasted red pepper strips, drained
  • 6.5 oz jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 6 oz ham, diced
  • 1/3 cup roughly chopped fresh Italian parsley, plus extra leaves for garnish
  • 1/4 cup chopped basil leaves

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, 1 cup of parmesan, salt, pepper and nutmeg until thoroughly combined.
  • Heat the oil in a large, oven-safe, non-stick skillet (frying pan) over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Add the pepper strips, sun-dried tomatoes, ham, parsley and basil; stir to combine. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup parmesan. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 minutes. Place the skillet, uncovered, into the oven. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until set. Let stand in the skillet for 30 minutes. Slide the frittata onto a cutting board or large flat platter. Cut into wedges to serve. Serve warm, room temp or cold. Top with extra parsley leaves and extra grated parmesan if desired.

    Hi Lovoni, Nicole is right. There are no instructions for the frittata. There is just a list of the last few ingredients. I went to the print page and checked to see if it would print properly, but no instructions were there. Love your blog and upcoming event in France this summer.

      It’s the case of the missing method…I don’t know where is goes to but here it is again.http://freshhunger.com/2021/01/19/herby-roasted-pepper-ham-frittata/
      Thanks for alluding me to its disappearance and for you kind words. L xo

    Hi!

    Found your website through Instagram and I love the recipes. I wanted to try this one but unfortunately it appears as though there is an error and there are no instructions for its preparation. Instead of instructions are additional ingredients listed. Can you please repost the recipe.

    • Lovoni says

      March 27, 2021 at 9:29 am

      Nicole I have checked that recipe and there is nothing wrong with it so I’m not sure what has happened your end. Try printing it and see what happens.
      I can send you a screen shot so you can see the method. Sorry you’re having this issue. Maybe something is getting caught-up. Try refreshing your browser
      and clearing your cache and see if that helps.
      Cheers,
      Lovoni

Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her Our darling mum passed away last year. I hear her voice every day offering support & advice. One of my favourites is this simple ‘start how you want to finish’ advice. It was told to her when she decided she’d take care of her mum, my nan, at home when she became very ill & needed around the clock care. 
As a new year lies before us & we can make it anything we want. So go forth how you want to continue. For me that’s with intent, small reasonable goals, simplifying home & life where possible & taking care of myself both my mental & physical health. 
Last year was a fucker, this year I’m taking care of me. We are nothing without our health. 
Happy 2023 to those who’ve stuck around with me, especially during my absence over the last 12 months, & to the newcomers who’ve joined the Fresh Hunger community. Thank you for your support. I’ve got some fun, helpful projects coming your way I can’t wait to share with you all. L xo
