Ham & Pepper Skillet Frittata

This skillet frittata is so easy to whip together and is so versatile. You can easily replace the ham and peppers that I used with other meat and veggies that you have on hand, such as cooked sausage or bacon, asparagus or slightly steamed broccoli.

Eggs are not just for breakfast, and a frittata makes a hearty brunch, lunch or dinner idea.

How I made the ham & pepper frittata budget-friendly:

  1. I bought a ham before Easter when the price dropped to $1.49 a pound. I baked it and and chopped it up and stored in 1-2 cup portions in freezer.
  2. About a month ago, I found green and red peppers on the produce clearance rack at Giant. They were .50 a piece, so I brought several home, cleaned and chopped them up and stored in a freezer bag. When you need peppers, just break apart the amount you need. One cup is close enough to the size of one pepper. If you use a lot of peppers, this is a great money & time saving tip.
  3. You can also use tip #2 to freeze your garden harvest.
  4. The eggs were also on manager’s special. They were marked down to $1, because the best by date was in a few days. So if you ever find eggs marked down, but within the best by range, a skillet frittata is a great way to use them.

Author: Kristia Ludwick
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 3 cups hashbrowns
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup of your favorite shredded cheese - I used cheddar
  • 1 cup chopped ham
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • I didn't add salt, because I used ham, but could be added if needed.
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In an oven safe skillet, melt the butter and saute the peppers until slightly softened.
  3. Add the hash browns and stir in with the peppers and remove from heat.
  4. In a large bowl, beat the eggs and milk. Add cheese, ham, pepper, salt and stir to combine.
  5. Pour over the hash browns.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and slightly golden.
