Tips for Making Frittata in Microwave
- Great vegetables to microwave for the frittata is bell peppers, onion, kale and spinach.Use what ever veggies you have in the fridge!
- Make sure to chop the vegetables small so they can cook quickly. Also keep the cuts even so all the veggies finish cooking around the same time.
- Seasonings: Always add enough seasoning to your eggs: make sure to salt the eggs for ultimate flavor. Under-seasoned eggs just don’t taste as good, no matter what technique you use.
- Start with our base timing and keep stirring and adding additional microwave cooking time of about 1 minute until the eggs are perfect to your preference.
- Make sure to fold in the sides of the eggs for even cooking.
- We love adding cheese to the frittata. Our favorite is still cheddar cheese, spicy jack or Parmesan cheese.
- Cover the bowl: You don’t want to have splattered egg in the microwave. Just make sure it’s a microwave safe cover.

Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- salt , to taste
- black pepper , to taste
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) butter
- 1/2 cup (60 g) small cubed fully cooked ham

Equipment

Instructions
Beat eggs, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.
In a different shallow wide bowl that’s microwave safe (about 6-inches/15 cm) wide) add the butter, cover and melt the butter, about 20-30 seconds on High.
Add ham and vegetables to the butter. Stir to coat all the ingredients with the melted butter.
Cover the bowl and Microwave for about 1 minute on High. Add the beaten eggs to the bowl and stir.
Cover the bowl and Microwave for about 1 minute on High. Gently fold in the edges of the cooked eggs into the center, allowing the raw eggs to flow to the edge of the bowl.
Cover the bowl and Microwave for another 1 minute, or until the frittata is set and cooked. If eggs are still runny, microwave uncovered for about 10-15 seconds more until eggs are cooked. Insert a toothpick or knife in the center of the frittata to make sure it comes out clean.
Add cheese on top of frittata and microwave for about 10 seconds until cheese melts.
Allow frittata to cool a bit and serve warm.
