Tips for preparing, serving, and storing your spinach and ham frittata:
- Get creative with your ingredients! You can add many leftovers to your frittata including mushrooms, green beans, diced tomatoes, brocolli, and potatoes. Add-ins should be pre-cooked before adding them to the frittata.
- Don’t use low-fat dairy alternatives instead of half-and-half. The dairy ingredient is what will give your frittata the right consistency and texture. You can, however, substitute whole milk or heavy cream instead of half-and-half.
- You can store your leftover spinach and ham frittata in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed container for up to two days. It’s easy to reheat the frittata either in a toaster oven or microwave.
