Blue Ribbon Recipe by

I love grilled ham and cheese, so I wanted to use those flavors in a breakfast-type dish. I came up with this frittata, and it turned out great. Call me crazy, but I even added a little dollop of sour cream to my slice. I tried this out on my husband, and he loved it. This recipe is simple, quick, and very filling.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This easy ham and cheese frittata is great for brunch but hearty enough for a tasty dinner. The eggs and cheese are rich and creamy. Chopped ham adds a savory and slightly salty flavor. Buttered and toasted bread cubes stay slightly crisp and add texture to the dish. You'll taste the garlic, onion, and dry mustard in every bite. This egg skillet bake calls for deli ham, but leftover baked ham from a holiday meal can easily be substituted.
