Ingredients

Serves 8

　　1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

　　1/3 cup finely chopped yellow onion

　　5 large eggs

　　2/3 cup chopped serrano ham

　　2/3 cup grated Swiss cheese

Step 1

1. Heat the boiler. Heat the olive oil in a large, ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until clear and translucent, about 1 minute. In a bowl whisk together the eggs, ham, 1/3 cup of the cheese, thyme, and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.

　　

Step 2

2. Add egg mixture to onions and cook, without stirring, about 8 minutes, or until the bottom and edges are set but center is still soft.

3. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on the top of the frittata. Broil about 4 inches from the heat until the cheese is bubbling, about 1 minute. Transfer to a cutting board, cut into wedges, and serve.
