Caramelized Onion and Potato Frittata with Ham and Swiss

I was going to make a really simple frittata for dinner but I changed the ingredients once I saw this recipe on What's Cookin' with Mary? What goes better with eggs than caramelized onion, potatoes, ham, and cheese? This dish took a few extra minutes to prep but it was worth it! I loved the flavor combination - all of the ingredients just work really well together. My husband and I both REALLY loved this frittata while our non egg eating children wouldn't even try it - their loss! Thanks for the inspiration Mary.

Original recipe by What's Cookin' with Mary?

• 2 tsp of olive oil (more if needed)
• 1 sweet yellow onion, chopped
• 5 slices of Canadian bacon or ham
• 7-8 baby fingerling potatoes
• 6 eggs
• 3 tbsp milk
• Sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste
• 2-3 tbsp Swiss cheese, chopped or shredded
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat a tart pan with cooking spray.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the onions then cook stirring often until caramelized, about 20 minutes. Add more olive oil while the onions are cooking if needed.Once the onions are caramelized, add the ham then cook, stirring often for 3 minutes.

While the onions are cooking, boil the potatoes in a pot of water for 10 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and let cool. Chop the potatoes into small bite sized chunks.

Place some of the onion and ham mixture into the bottom of the tart pan; next add some potatoes and a bit of the Swiss cheese. Combine the eggs with the milk and parsley then season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Whisk the eggs until they are mixed thoroughly. Pour the egg mixture into the tart pan then add the remaining onion and ham mixture, potatoes, and Swiss cheese to the top.

Place into the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy.
