Ham and Veggie Breakfast Frittata - A Cast Iron Recipe CeceliasGoodStuff.com I love it when I can wake up on the weekend and actually have something in my fridge to make for breakfast. I don’t know about you, but the the last thing I want to do is run to the grocery store first thing on a Sunday morning. Today of all days, I was especially grateful for the simple fact that if I had a little bit of this (kale & tomatoes) and a little bit of that (a few slices of ham) to throw into my frittata. The thing about a frittatas is you can quickly whip up a frittata for breakfast using any mix of veggies, meats, and cheeses. I absolutely love making them for breakfast, especially on the weekend. My kids love waking up to the spell of something savory cooking in the oven. And I feel especially happy to have a warm homemade breakfast to serve them. “Frittata” is a recipe based on an Italian dish which translates to “egg-cake”. In my personal opinion, it is basically a crust-less quiche minus the added milk. Frittatas are a great way to use leftover vegetables. You know sometimes you have a small bowl of leftover roasted veggies from dinner the night before. Well chop them up and through them in a cast iron skillet to make a frittata. Frittatas are quite simple and are a healthy option for breakfast or brunch. Another great thing about frittatas is that you can be creative and add a variety of your own favorite ingredients to make this tasty Italian dish. I make frittatas often because they are a great go-to meal. I also love the fact that you can easily microwave the leftover frittata for lunch the following day. Serve it with a side salad and you have a perfect balanced meal. Bon Appetit, Cecelia

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ cups sliced ham, chopped
2 cups kale, roughly chopped
1 cup petite tomatoes, diced
1 cup crumbled Feta cheese
1 cup chopped bell pepper (yellow or any color you prefer)
Salt and Pepper to taste
Pinch or two of red chile flakes
¼ cup basil, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
10 eggs (beaten)

Instructions

In small sauté pan sauté olive oil, ham, kale, tomatoes, and bell pepper until tender, about 5 minutes.
Season with salt, pepper, and red chile flakes.
Add basil and chives and mix until blended.
Sprinkle with Feta cheese, making sure to cover pan evenly.
In a separate bowl mix eggs until well blended.
Pour egg mixture into cast iron skillet and cook for about 1 - 2 minutes until you see the edges are cooking.
Transfer cast iron skillet into a 375 degree oven and finish cooking.
Cook for 8 - 10 minutes or until the top of the frittata is lightly golden brown.
Remove cast iron skillet from oven and gently loosen frittata edges with a spatula from the pan. Slice evenly, and transfer sliced frittata into individual serving plates.
Serve immediately.

Notes

I recommend removing the big chewy stems from the kale before you chop it.
