Camp Frittatas Highlight Fresh Ingredients

This is a delicious and fresh camp meal.

Eggs and fresh vegetables in the crisp morning air make a great start to the day. Consider visiting a local farmers’ market to pick up the freshest ingredients and use left over baked potatoes and ham to use it up.

As a time-saver, the vegetables and ham can be diced ahead of time and stored in containers until you are ready.

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Melt butter in an 8-inch skillet. Add mushrooms, green onions, potato, tomatoes, bell pepper, salt, pepper, and ham to skillet and stir slowly over medium heat. Whisk eggs in a small bowl. Add half-and-half, Italian spice, and fresh parsley (reserve a pinch for garnish).

Pour egg mixture into skillet and reduce heat. After egg mixture begins to firm up, lift the edges with a spatula and tip skillet so uncooked egg flows to the bottom of the pan.
