A frittata is an egg-based dish that includes other great additions like meat and vegetables. This frittata features delicious ham, spinach, onion, and spices to make it a one dish, yet memorable meal!
A frittata makes one of our favorite simple recipes that we love as much for breakfast or brunch as we do for a light supper. A frittata is so easy to pull together and makes an elegant dish to serve when entertaining guests for the weekend.
I love the ease of this frittata recipe in that you can quickly whip together your eggs and milk, toss in the leftover ham that you’ve diced, add in a package of spinach you’ve thawed and drained, and then stir in a few more items, pour it into a skillet, toss it into a preheated oven and in a few minutes you have a glorious meal that everyone will love!
Packed with protein, it sure would be great to wake your family up to this for breakfast with a side of fresh fruit and juice to kick off their day in a wonderful way. As amazing as this frittata is for breakfast, it would be just a fabulous served for a quick supper later in the week.
Here’s my fast, fabulous Ham Frittata recipe. I think you’ll love it!

Robyn,can i use eggbeaters instead of the 8 eggs?
Thanks Robyn for the nice recipe. Have a Fun Day!
Holy cow does that look absolutely amazing!!! I am in love!
I’m wondering about the time….only 10-12 minutes? I’m going on 30 minutes and it’s still not set in the middle. I’m sure it’ll be delicious but I just wanted to ask if maybe that was a typo?
I see reference to garlic in the description but I don’t see any in the actual recipe. ???
Thanks for catching that Laura! I’m so sorry for the mistake and the confusion. I changed the recipe to onion and missed it in the introduction. xo
