Atkins Cheese Recipes

Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/2 bell pepper, chopped
1 cup chopped cooked ham
3 tbsp chopped Italian (flat leaf) parsley, divided
9 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup half-and-half
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 cup grated Swiss cheese, divided

Instructions:

Heat broiler. Melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high
heat; add onion, pepper, ham, and half of the chopped parsley. Cook 5
minutes, until onion is softened.

Combine eggs, half-and-half, salt, Italian seasoning and half the cheese.
Add egg mixture to pan. Cook, stirring constantly until the eggs form
soft, creamy small curds, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat; sprinkle
remaining cheese over top of eggs.

Place skillet under broiler; cook until cheese is bubbly and golden, about
3 minutes. Cool slightly. To remove frittata whole, tip skillet to one
side and use a spatula to loosen edges. Slide onto a serving platter; top
with remaining parsley. Cut into wedges.
