| Ingredients | |
|---|---|
| 2 tablespoons | butter |
| 1 | small onion, chopped |
| 1 | green bell pepper, chopped |
| ½ teaspoon | salt |
| ½ teaspoon | ground black pepper |
| 8 slices (6 ounces) | ham, chopped |
| 8 | large eggs, at room temperature |
| ¼ cup | water |
| ½ cup (2 ounces) | shredded Cheddar (optional) |
Directions
- Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, ¼ teaspoon of the salt, and ¼ teaspoon of the black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the ham and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 minute. Transfer the ham mixture to a plate.
- Separate the eggs, placing the yolks in a medium-size bowl and the whites in a large bowl. Whisk the yolks with the water and remaining ¼ teaspoon of salt and ¼ teaspoon of pepper. Beat the egg whites with an electric mixer, until they form stiff, but not dry, peaks. Fold the yolks into the whites.
- Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet over low heat. Pour in the eggs and spread them evenly with a rubber spatula. Scatter the ham mixture and cheese (if using) over the eggs, cover, and cook until the eggs are set, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Slide the frittata onto a plate and serve it immediately. (Puffiness will subside in 5 to 7 minutes.)
