Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • pinches kosher salt
  • pinches freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 3/4 to 1 cup diced deli or cooked ham (if using deli ham, you'll need about 4 slices)
  • 3 green onions (sliced)
  • 1/2 cup shredded baby Swiss cheese
  • snipped chives (for serving)
  • red pepper flakes (for serving)
  • hot sauce (for serving)

Instructions

  1. 1

    Crack the eggs into a bowl and season with a few pinches of kosher salt and black pepper. Then whisk until thick and fluffy.

  2. 2

    Melt butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add peppers and cook 5 to 6 minutes or until just starting to soften. Add ham and sliced onions and stir to combine. Then spread into an even layer.

  3. 3

    Reduce the heat under the pan to medium-low, give the eggs and quick whisk before pouring the beaten eggs over the pepper and ham mixture. Top with all of the grated Swiss, cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the eggs are set.

  4. 4

    Transfer the frittata to a cutting board, cut into wedges and serve with freshly snipped chives, red pepper flakes and hot sauce!
