Halloween Brunch

OK, so it's not Halloween themed, but this was the brunch I made this morning for some friends :)

Smoked Ham and Gruyere Frittata:
  • 8 extra-large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 4 small potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup diced smoked ham
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 bunch chives, chopped

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, Gruyere cheese, salt, and pepper until foamy. Melt butter in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the onion and potatoes and cook thoroughly. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Pull the edges away from the sides of the pan with a spatula so the eggs flow to the bottom of the pan. When the frittata is half set, add the ham. Transfer the pan to the heated oven. Bake for 10 minutes until puffed and golden. Shower with grated parmesan and serve garnished with sour cream and chives. We served it with bacon and smushed biscuits!
