Ham and Cheddar Frittata

Here's a recipe idea for brunch this weekend, especially if you're having a pasta dinner tonight save a little pasta for a frittata in the morning. Not a bad brunch for a snow day like we're expecting today either.

Serves 4-6

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet. Add and cook until softened:

1 clove minced garlic
½ small red onion finely chopped

In a large bowl whisk together

8 large eggs
½ cup whipping cream
½ cup sour cream
Salt and pepper to season
½ tsp freshly ground nutmeg
2 tbsp hot sauce (optional)

To the egg mixture fold in

1 cup precooked ham cut in small cubes or small slices
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
¼ cup green onions or fresh chives
1 cup precooked pasta

Pour into a greased 9x9 baking dish or back into an oiled oven proof skillet.
Top with sliced tomatoes and olives if desired. Bake for 35-45 minutes or until the center springs back when pressed lightly.
