This makes a wonderful weekend brunch, I have made it many time in the past, it's very easy to make too! You can make this using cold cooked finely diced potatoes in place of hash browns, I have made this using leftover potatoes with great success! Feel free to add in green bell pepper, jalapeno peppers, skiced mushrooms, or whatever you wish! The skillet cooking time will take slightly longer.

Tips:

Use a non-stick skillet. This will prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
Heat the skillet over medium heat. This will help the frittata cook evenly.
Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you add too many ingredients, the frittata will be too thick and won't cook properly.
Cook the frittata until it is set in the center. You can check this by inserting a toothpick into the center of the frittata. If it comes out clean, the frittata is done.
Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

A ham and egg frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's perfect for using up leftover ham and eggs, and it can be customized with your favorite ingredients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this ham and egg frittata a try.
