Green Eggs and Ham Frittata

Wreath Ingredients: 

• 8 large eggs
• 1 ½teaspoons dried dill
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 leeks, white and light green parts only, diced
• 1 5-ounce bag baby spinach, chopped
• ½ cup diced ham
• 1/2 cup shredded havarti or Muenster cheese

Directions:

Step 1: Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat to 450 degrees F

Step 2: Whist eggs, dill salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Heat oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add leeks, cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add spinach and ham, cook, stirring, until the spinach is wilted, about 1 minute.

Step 3: Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and coo, lifting the edges of the frittata so uncooked egg can flow underneath, until the bottom is light golden, 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on top, transfer the pan to the oven and bake until the eggs are set, 6-8 minutes. Let rest for about 3 minutes before serving. Serve hot or cold.
