Recipe: Springtime Frittata (with ham, zucchini and Gruyere)

SPRINGTIME FRITTATA

"It's easy to create a special holiday or weekend brunch. Cilantro complements the eggs, ham, zucchini, and Gruyere cheese, to make this a memorable meal. For an added treat, substitute prosciutto for regular ham."

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1 medium zucchini, cut in half lengthwise, then into 1/4-inch slices
1 cup diced ham
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons dried cilantro Leaves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 cup freshly shredded Gruyere cheese

Preheat broiler.

Heat oil in large, ovenproof*, non-stick skillet over medium heat. Saute onion and zucchini 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add ham; cook 2 minutes more.

Whisk eggs, cilantro, salt and pepper in a medium bowl to blend well. Pour over vegetables and ham in skillet. Cook without stirring until eggs are set on bottom, about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle with cheese. Broil until eggs are set and cheese is lightly browned.

*Kitchen Tip: Wrap the skillet handle in foil if your skillet is not ovenproof.
