- 4 spring onions, chopped (green onions/scallions)
- 100 g cheddar cheese, grated (1 cup, firmly packed)
- 10 eggs
- 1 cup pure cream (heavy whipping cream)
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180C/375F.
- Sprinkle the chopped ham in the bottom of a 9.5inch/24cm round pie dish and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle over the chopped spring onions and grated cheese.
- In a large jug or bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt & cayenne.
- Pour the egg mixture over the ham. Place in the oven and cook for 40-45 minutes.
- It is ready when it is golden brown all over and cooked through. You can stick a knife in the middle to check it is set all the way through.
- Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 5 minutes. it will deflate as it cools.
- It can be served hot, warm, room temperature or cold. It will be easier to slice if it has cooled and then been refridgerated.
Notes
-
- It can be easier to put the pie dish on a baking tray and then placing it in the oven. It is easier to get it in and out of the oven that way.
-
- If you don't have cheddar cheese, you can use any gated cheese you have on hand or prefer.
-
- The volume of a 9.5 inch pie dish is around 6 cups. So any oven proof baking dish that can fit 6 cups will work.
-
- Make sure you let the frittata cool before cutting and removing from the dish. This will make it so much easier to take out.
-
- This frittata keeps well in the fridge. We like to cut it into slices and store in airtight containers. It can be frozen, but it may be a bit watery once defrosted, so we prefer not to freeze it.
