Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Onion | 1/2 |
| Garlic | 1 clove |
| Olive oil | 1 tablespoon |
| Eggs | 4 |
| Fresh thyme leaves | 1 tablespoon |
| Fresh rosemary leaves | 1 teaspoon |
| Black pepper | To taste |
| Ham steak | 1 slice |
| Extra-sharp cheddar cheese | 1/4 cup |
| Fresh parsley leaves | 1 tablespoon |
Instructions:
-
In an 8- or 9-inch flameproof heavy skillet, heat olive oil over moderately low heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, stirring occasionally, until they soften and become fragrant.
-
Meanwhile, in a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, fresh thyme leaves, chopped rosemary, and black pepper according to your taste preferences.
-
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the cooked onions and garlic. Allow it to cook without stirring for about 2 minutes until the edges start to set.
-
While the frittata is cooking, preheat your broiler to ensure it’s ready for the next step.
-
Add diced ham to the frittata mixture in the skillet. Continue cooking without stirring for about 8 minutes, or until the edges are set but the center remains slightly soft.
-
Sprinkle the shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the frittata. Place the skillet under the broiler, positioned about 4 inches from the heat source. Broil for approximately 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
-
Carefully remove the skillet from the broiler. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over the top of the frittata for a burst of fresh flavor.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut the frittata into wedges and serve immediately, either hot or at room temperature, as desired.
