Time 30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 shallot, sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup half-and-half
8 large eggs
1 cup grated Swiss cheese
1 cup diced deli ham
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus more for garnish (optional)
[For Serving:] Green salad (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven broiler. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the shallot and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and cool. Reserve the skillet for cooking the frittata.
  • Meanwhile, whisk the half-and-half and eggs together in a medium bowl with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper until smooth. Add the cooled shallots, cheese, parsley and chives and stir to combine.
  • Heat the reserved skillet over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and stir a few times. Cook, undisturbed, until the bottom sets, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and broil until the eggs are just set, about 5 minutes more. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Slide the frittata out onto a large plate or cutting board. Cut into wedges and sprinkle with more chives and serve warm or room temperature with a green salad if desired.

HAM AND SWISS SALAD WITH RED CURRANTS



Ham and Swiss Salad with Red Currants image

The sweetness of the ham is a nice complement to the tartness of the currants. I couldn't find one recipe that used fresh red currants that wasn't a jam or dessert so I made this one up.

SARASOTA'S HAM AND SWISS CHEESE SALAD



Sarasota's Ham and Swiss Cheese Salad image

This is sort of a "NO-measurements" salad. Ham, cheese, olives, onion and lettuce. I like more olives where others may like more cheese or ham. This just reminds me of a ham and cheese sandwich I had back in MI many years ago. Thick slices, crisp lettuce and a creamy mustard sauce, Recipe #413903.

Provided by SarasotaCook

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 15m

Yield 4-6 Salads, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

6 cups lettuce (I use a mix of romaine hearts and iceberg lettuce)
1 slice baked ham (1/4-inch thick and cut in thin julienne strips)
1 -2 slice swiss cheese (1/4-inch thick and cut in thin julienne strips)
1 cup green olives with pimiento (more or less according to taste)
1 1/2 cups durkee fried onions (more or less according to taste, Now if you can't find them, 1 medium onion thin sliced will work ju)
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Salad -- Just rough chop the lettuce, add the ham, swiss cheese, whole olives and Durkee onions (more or less depending on what you like. I save some for the top as well as a garnish. Now if you can't find the Durkee fried onions, just use a regular white onion. I just like the crunch the Durkee onions gives the salad. I like to lightly season with salt and pepper and then drizzle your favorite dressing over the top and toss well. I like to serve it with Recipe #413903. The creamy mustard dressing goes perfect with this. You can also use a ranch dressing or your favorite vinaigrette.
  • It is a simple classic recipe, but I absolutely love it. And feel free to add more or less ingredients as needed. ENJOY!

  • Layer the ingredients carefully: When assembling the salad in a jar, layer the ingredients in a way that will create a visually appealing and balanced salad. Start with the dressing at the bottom, followed by the heavier ingredients like beans, corn, or pasta. Then add the leafy greens, followed by the lighter ingredients like tomatoes, cucumbers, and cheese.
  • Use a variety of textures and flavors: Incorporate a variety of textures and flavors into your salad to make it more interesting and enjoyable. Try using a mix of crunchy vegetables, soft cheeses, and creamy dressings.
  • Pack the salad tightly: When packing the salad into the jar, press down on the ingredients gently to compact them. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming soggy and will make it easier to eat.
  • Chill the salad before serving: After assembling the salad, chill it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help to keep the salad fresh and crisp.
