Ham and Swiss Cheese Frittata

1. 1

   In a 9-inch non-stick skillet cook the onion and the bell pepper with salt and pepper to taste in 1 tablespoon of the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the bell pepper is tender.

2. 2

   In a bowl whisk together the eggs, the ham, 1/3 cup of the Swiss cheese, and salt and pepper to taste, add the bell pepper mixture, and stir the mixture until it is combined well.

3. 3

   In the skillet heat the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil over moderate heat until it is hot but not smoking, pour in the mixture, distributing the ham and bell pepper evenly, and cook the frittata, without stirring, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edge is set but the center is still soft.

4. 4

   Sprinkle the remaining 1/3 cup Swiss cheese over the top.

5. 5

   (If the skillet handle is plastic, wrap it in a double thickness of foil.)

6. 6

   Broil the frittata under a preheated broiler and about 4 inches from the heat for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the cheese is golden, and let cool in the skillet for 5 minutes.

7. 7

   Slide the frittata onto a serving plate, cut it into wedges, and serve it warm or at room temperature.
