Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Trim any connective tissue and all fat off ham steak. Mince the meat into very small bits and set aside.
- Heat a 12-inch nonstick skillet with oven safe handle over moderate heat. Add oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and coat sides and bottom of pan evenly with melted butter and oil mixture. Add ham bits to the pan and saute 3 minutes to brown them a bit and render some of the moisture in the meat.
- Whisk together eggs and milk or half-and-half. Break off tiny pieces of remaining 1 tablespoon butter and drop them into beaten eggs. Season eggs with a little salt and pepper and whisk again to combine. Pour eggs into skillet over ham. Stir eggs gently to evenly distribute bits of ham throughout the eggs.
- As eggs set, lift up bottom skin that has formed and allow uncooked eggs to settle. Keep doing this as eggs brown until the eggs begin to set. Transfer the pan to the oven, and allow the frittata to cook 10 minutes, or until golden on top. Add a generous layer of shredded fontina to the frittata and leave in oven another 3 to 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted and begins to bubble and brown. Serve frittata wedges directly from the skillet with a pie server.

FRITTATA WITH GREENS
This is a typical Provençal or Italian frittata, something that is quickly thrown together, especially if you make a point of washing and blanching greens when you get them home from the market. It works best with the more tender greens like chard, beet greens, and spinach.

Steps:
- Heat a large pot of water over high heat while you stem and wash the greens in two changes of water. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, add a generous tablespoon of salt, and the greens. Blanch spinach for 30 seconds only, chard and beet greens for 1 minute, or until tender, and transfer to the ice water. Let sit for a few minutes, then drain, squeeze dry, and chop.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute, and stir in the greens. Cook, stirring, for about 1 minute, until coated with oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl, stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, freshly ground pepper to taste, the milk, and the cooked greens.
- Clean and dry your pan and return to the stove. Heat over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture, scraping every last bit out of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan every once in a while, until the frittata is just about set. Meanwhile, light the broiler.
- If the frittata is not quite set on the top, place under the broiler, about 3 inches from the heat, for 1 minute, watching closely, until just beginning to color on the top. Do not allow the eggs to brown too much or they'll taste bitter.
- Remove from the heat, allow to sit in the pan for 5 minutes or longer, then carefully slide out onto a platter, or cut in wedges in the pan and serve.

Steps:
- Put the greens in a large mixing bowl. Add the garlic, season with salt and pepper and drizzle lightly with olive oil. Toss the greens with your hands to coat the leaves.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Add the red pepper flakes and parmigiano. Pour the egg mixture over the greens and stir them together.
- Heat a well-seasoned cast iron skillet or 9-inch omelet pan on medium-high. Pour in a film of olive oil and let it heat. Add the frittata mixture and let it cook briskly, lifting the edges with a spatula and tilting the pan to help the bottom set. Reduce the heat to prevent the bottom from over-browning and quickly arrange the sliced mozzarella and prosciutto over the surface. Cook for about 3 minutes.
- Place a large plate over the pan, then carefully invert the frittata onto the plate. Return the pan to the heat, add a touch more olive oil, and slip the frittata back into the pan, uncooked side down, for another 2 minutes. (Alternatively, leave the frittata in the pan and finish under a broiler). Slide the frittata onto a platter. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature, cut into wedges.

SAUSAGE & FONTINA FRITTATA
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450°. Sauté sausage in oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, 3 minutes. Add onion, cook 2 minutes. Stir in greens and tomatoes. Cook until greens wilt. Remove from skillet. Wipe out skillet and coat generously with nonstick spray. Purée eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a blender until frothy. Pour egg mixture into a hot skillet and cook over medium heat just until curds form, stirring constantly. Stir in sausage mixture and cheese, transfer skillet to the oven, and bake 15-20 minutes, or until set in the center. Unmold the frittata by placing a large plate, serving side down, over the skillet. Carefully flip the skillet and plate over simultaneously to release. Then, quickly place the serving plate on top of the inverted frittata. Flip again to present the top of the frittata.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, tender mustard greens for the best flavor and texture. Look for leaves that are deep green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Wash the mustard greens thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Be sure to pat them dry before cooking to prevent the frittata from becoming watery.
- Use a large skillet or sauté pan to cook the frittata. This will help to ensure that the frittata cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the pan.
- Cook the mustard greens until they are softened but still have a bit of a bite to them. If you overcook them, they will become mushy and lose their flavor.
- Add the Fontina cheese to the top of the frittata in the last few minutes of cooking. This will allow the cheese to melt and become gooey without overcooking.
- Serve the frittata immediately, or let it cool slightly and then slice it into wedges for a portable snack.
Conclusion:
A frittata with mustard greens and Fontina cheese is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's easy to make and packed with flavor, thanks to the combination of peppery mustard greens, salty Fontina cheese, and fresh herbs. Whether you serve it hot out of the oven or pack it for a picnic, this frittata is sure to be a hit.
