Key Tips for the Perfect Frittata
Uniformly chopped vegetables ensure even cooking and a perfect forkful every time. Save time and guarantee consistency by using a reliable Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper to prep your onions and spinach. It minimizes chopping effort and speeds up your morning routine.
For a flawless, non-stick cooking experience, opt for a high-quality, oven-safe skillet. The SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch heats evenly and transitions smoothly from stovetop to oven — essential for the perfect frittata crust and effortless release.
Assembling and Cooking Your Spinach and Ham Frittata
Whisk together eggs, milk, and cheese for a custardy base. Sauté your onions, ham, and spinach until the flavors meld. Pour the egg mixture over, ensuring even distribution, and let it simmer just a moment before finishing under the oven broiler for a lightly golden top.
For a drip-free, beautiful transfer from pan to table, invest in a trusty KitchenAid Ribbed Soft Silicone Oven Mitt Set. Their superior grip keeps your morning masterpiece safe from kitchen accidents.
Once cooked, let your frittata sit in the pan for a few minutes — this helps it firm up for clean slicing. A Lifewit Silverware Drawer Organizer can keep your knives and utensils organized, ensuring you have the right tools on hand to serve up perfect wedges.
Serving and Storing Suggestions
Pair your frittata with a crisp salad or a slice of crusty bread for a fuller meal. It also travels beautifully—use a Bentgo Salad Container to pack leftovers for lunch or a snack on the go.
