I love breakfast and brunch. I can eat a good breakfast and be good the rest of the day. I’ve been looking for a few easier breakfast and brunch recipes for the holiday. I kept coming back to frittatas over and over again.

Frittatas are hearty and cook quickly and this Ham Cheese and Potato Frittata is no exception. They’re also economical, well, since my mom gives me fresh eggs, I can make a frittata for pennies. Even without free eggs, it an inexpensive recipe to make. A frittata is also a good recipe to clean out your fridge.  I chose to use brie cheese in this recipe simply because I had 3 ounces in the fridge that we needed to eat.

Great for holidays and brunches

Try making this Ham Cheese and Potato Frittata for your next holiday brunch. You can put it together in minutes, which leaves you time to enjoy your guest. After all, that’s why we entertain, right?

I like a frittata to an omelet, but much easier. There’s no babysitting the frittata and no flipping. I’m not a good flipper. I don’t do an omelet well.

My frittata is packed with ham and potatoes and topped with brie cheese. The cheese melts down into the eggs and potatoes making them extra creamy. Feel free to use any quick melting cheese such as Fontana or Harvarti.

I topped my frittata with green onions and diced tomatoes as soon as it came out of the oven. This added a little freshness and crunch.

4. Add ham, salt and pepper and heat.
5. In a bowl, whisk eggs with yogurt.

Recipe Notes

Most oven-proof pans will not have a plastic handle, but will be made completely of a medal. If you're unsure if your pan is oven-safe, check the manufacturer. A cast-iron skillet is oven proof.This frittata is great served with fresh fruit for breakfast or a green salad for brinner. ©CallMePMc.com All images & content are copyright protected.
