Today, I’ m sharing with you another healthy filling breakfast recipe – potato, ham and tomato frittata. Happy 4th of July to all my American readers! Hope your weekend is enjoyable, safe and relaxing! While this breakfast may be enough to feed 7-8 people, it doesn’t take very long to make. It comes together in about 15 minutes. I love to make frittatas when I know that I have a busy Saturday ahead of me and they keep me full until lunch.
The tomatoes in our garden are finally ripening and I have been trying to use them in almost every meal. And of course, I had to add some to our frittata as well. 🙂 It turned out great! I love the flavor of homegrown tomatoes – so flavorful, sweet, and juicy. It really can’t be compared to any store bought tomatoes. We also planted a second crop of tomatoes last week, so we are hoping to have tomatoes all summer. 🙂
Back to this delicious potato, ham and tomato frittata. The thinly sliced potatoes serve as a thin crust at the bottom of the frittata. They are topped with ham and thin slices of tomatoes. And the eggs serve as a binder between the potatoes and the tomatoes & ham.
Frittatas are so good and filling, sometimes I even eat them for lunch.
How To Make Potato Ham and Tomato Frittata
What you need:
1 -2 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
2 medium baking potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 2 1/2 cups)
1 cup diced cooked ham
1 tomato (about 8 ounces), cut into thin slices
6 large eggs, preferably organic
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh green onion (or chives)
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preparation
Heat the oil in an 8- to 10-inch skillet (I used cast iron skillet) until hot but not smoking. Add the potatoes and cook, covered, for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to brown on all sides. Add the chopped onion to the skillet, mix with potatoes and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the diced ham on top.
Preheat the broiler. Meanwhile, break the eggs into a bowl. Add the green onions, salt, and pepper and mix with a fork. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and stir gently with a fork for about 1 minute so the eggs flow between the potatoes. Add tomato slices to the skillet, arranging them so they cover most of the frittata. Cover and cook for 1 minute.
Slide the skillet under the broiler, 3 to 4 inches from the heat, and cook for about 3 minutes, until the eggs are set.
Slide onto a plate, cut into wedges, and serve.

My mouth was watering before I even read the ingredient list! I can’t wit to make this for brunch this weekend!
It’s been absolutely forever since I’ve had a frittata, and I’ve never tried making it at home before as it seemed difficult. You make this sound so easy to do!
I can’t wait to make this! This would be a great summer dish and a delicious way to use up all those tomatoes.
This is such a beautiful and filling weekend breakfast. Perfect start of the day!
Oh how I dream of homegrown tomatoes! We have managed to grow a few and they were the best tomatoes ever, but our northern facing garden in London is just not the place for it. This frittata looks incredible! All those gorgeous colours and those juicy tomatoes. Yum!
Looks like a wonderful way to start the day! And that it’s dairy, gluten and nut free, and Whole30 compliant. YUM.
I’ve not made a frittata for years, I’d forgotten how good they could be. You have inspired me to try one again.
Wowza! I love a good frittata and yours is absolutely gorgeous. I’m gonna try it this weekend with a salad for dinner.
this is right up our alley we love frittata and this one has everyone in it we love. I really love tomatoes in it!
Wow! This Frittata looks gorgeous! I’ve never tried one, but I see a lot of people make them. Definitely on my last of things to try! Yum!

Frittatas are one of my favorites to make and the flavors in this sound delicious
Love frittatas because they’re so tasty (of course) but also a great way to use up odds and ends in the fridge. This one looks super hearty! Perfect for this weekend’s brunch 🙂

Frittatas are great, and I like that you don’t have to flip them like omelets. I love the addition of potatoes and tomatoes to this one! I can just picture the soft and slightly crunch potatoes on the bottom and the warm tomato on top. Yum! I can’t wait to try this 😀
Thanks, Alexis!! Yes, I love the crunchy potatoes at the bottom too. They make a simple frittata very filling and delicious! 🙂
