Ingredients

8 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 cup grated Gruyere cheese
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 small onion, diced
4 small red potatoes, diced
1 cup diced smoked ham or Canadian bacon
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, for finishing top
1/4 cup sour cream
1 bunch chives, chopped

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, Gruyere cheese, salt, and pepper until foamy. Melt butter in a cast iron pan over medium heat. Add the onion and potatoes and cook thoroughly. Pour the egg mixture over the top. Pull the edges away from the sides of the pan with a spatula so the eggs flow to the bottom of the pan. When the frittata is half set, add the ham.

Transfer the pan to the heated oven. Bake for 10 minutes until puffed and golden. Shower with grated Parmesan and serve garnished with sour cream and chives.

I am with others here and want to be heard!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I have been a long time devotee of Food Network and cook daily from the recipes on this site. There are too many times that... the recipe on the show just does not make it on the site the same and I too feel for the inexperienced cook. This is not a rating for Tyler or his recipes, but another vote for Food Network to do something about this translation/transmission issue. I have noticed I have the most problems with this issue on Tyler's recipes as well...occasionally with others, but nowhere near the extent as with Tyler's. If I am ever interested in something Tyler is doing (and it's often), I better make sure it has been recorded so I can compare what has been done to what has been printed and have pen in hand when I do. PITA! Please pay attention to these details that make a world of difference for your network.Read more

DOES NOT MATCH THE SHOW AT ALL!
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

FIrst of all he used 1 cup of whole milk and only mentioned that if he has heavy cream left over he might throw a splash in... but didn't on the show and did not use sour cream. He took the onions and potatoes out of the pan. Cleaned the pan put in new oil and then put the egg mixture in then put the onions and the rest of the ingredients in put it in the oven to finish. I love many of Tyler's recipes but it gets ridiculous that I have to save the show so I can compare to the written recipe because most of his written recipes on here are so different from the show. What kind of idiot is working for him that can't transcribe a show. If you need a new assistant I can be of service. Just my 2 cents.Read more

Tired of Zero Quality Recipe Transcriptions
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I totally agree with sassy. This recipe isn't even close to what was shown on the show. Therefore, the quality of this recipe... ranks as crap. It doesn't matter that I know what the show did. It doesn't matter that I know how to fix the recipe. It doesn't matter that I can tweak things and make it turn out good. The recipe, as written, is crap. And how friggin' hard is it to have the recipe match the show? We watch the 'Next Food Network Star' and watch the level of detail they get to critiquing how a celebucher presents. Then we since this quality disparity in a simple recipe transcription??? What the hell? And this happens all the time. Not only with Florence, but with other celebuchefs as well. Which leads me to believe its not a chef issue but a systemic issue. The only way to get them to pay attention is to rate every crappy transcription for what it is: a crappy transcription. When they become more accurate, _then_ we can rate the relative merit of the actual show/recipe. I'm tired of having to read a recipe, wonder if it differs from what the chef presented, and then have to read 70 reviews to get the gist of whether the recipe is any good or not. And I feel very sorry for the inexperienced cook that simply searches for a recipe and lands on the crap that they couldn't possibly know doesn't match the show...Read more

another screwed up recipe
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

Shows and printed recipes often don't match. Unfortunately, my favorite chef, Tyler is the worst offender of screwed up... recipes. Read more

Easy to make and very good.
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Great recipe and easy to follow. As others have said, make sure you cut the potato's thin or in small cubes for even and... quick cooking. I used frozen hash browns that I keep on hand. You also need to make sure that your skillet has a hearty seasoning on it or you will end up with a torn frittata when you go to flip it.Read more
