Indulge in a flavorful deviled ham frittata topped with zesty jalapeno and scallion relish. A delightful culinary experience awaits!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 jalapeno, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
- 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
- Kosher salt
- 230g spiral ham, roughly chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 small red onion, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)
- 1/3 cup yellow mustard
- 10 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
- Green salad, for serving, optional
Instructions:
- Warm up 1/3 cup of vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick oven-safe frying pan over medium-high heat until it starts to shimmer. Gently add the jalapeno and scallions. Turn off the heat and mix them well. Cook in the hot oil for 1 minute while stirring continuously. Add the sesame oil and lightly season with salt. Transfer to a bowl and keep it aside until serving time. Clean the pan.
- Preheat the broiler and place the rack in the middle of the oven.
- In a food processor, blend the ham, onions, and mustard until they form a chunky paste.
- Beat the eggs and heavy cream together in a mixing bowl.
- Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the same frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the processed ham mixture and cook until the onions are soft and the mixture is lightly browned in spots, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Lower the heat to medium and let it settle for 2 minutes to adjust the temperature; keep stirring. Pour the beaten eggs over the ham, combine everything, and cook until the eggs begin to set, around 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and continue cooking until the frittata is almost set but the top is still slightly soft, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Place the frittata under the broiler and broil until the top turns golden brown, which should take between 3 to 5 minutes. Let it rest for 5 minutes. Gently release the frittata from the pan using a rubber spatula and flip it onto a plate. Cut into wedges and top with the jalapeno and scallion relish. Serve with a side of lightly dressed green salad if desired.
