Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 shallot, sliced
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup half-and-half
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
- 1 cup diced deli ham
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish (optional)
- [For Serving:] Green salad (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven broiler. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Reserve the skillet for cooking the frittata.
- Meanwhile, whisk the half-and-half and eggs together in a medium bowl with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper until smooth. Add the cooled shallots, cheese, parsley and chives and stir to combine.
- Heat the reserved skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir a few times. Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom sets, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until the eggs are just set, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Slide the frittata out onto a large plate or cutting board. Cut into wedges and sprinkle with more chives and serve warm or room temperature with a green salad if desired.
