Ingredients
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium yukon gold potato
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup diced sweet onion about 1/2 an onion
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/4 tsp dried rosemary
- 1 cup shredded cooked chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup small cherry tomatoes
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter cut in pats
- 10 large eggs
- 3 1/2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup shredded white cheddar cheese
- 3 tbsp chopped chives
Instructions
- Heat a 13” cast iron (or any deep, oven-safe) skillet to medium heat. Drizzle in vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Once heated, add in diced potatoes and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Potatoes should be crisp, golden brown and slightly tender.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Add diced onions and cover with lid. Let cook for 10 minutes, occasionally removing the lid to stir.
- Remove the lid, turn heat on low and add smoked paprika and dried rosemary. Stir to combine.
- Layer on shredded chicken, spread out the cherry tomatoes on top of chicken then add pats of butter on top of that.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy whipping cream. Carefully pour mixture into the skillet.
- Top with shredded white cheddar cheese and chopped chives.
- Cover with a lid or aluminum foil and bake for 10-15 minutes or until light, fluffy and golden around the edges.
- Do the wiggle test! Carefully (with mitten hands) hold the skillet and slightly giggle the frittata. If the middle doesn't wiggle, you’re good to go!
- Cool for 5-10 minutes. Top with fresh ground black pepper, kosher salt then, slice and serve!
