If you love to eat eggs any time of the day, these frittata skewers may be a wonderful option for when you need an appetizer for a party. They are made with baked frittata that is cut into cubes and rolled with ham and cheese before being threaded on skewers.
To make the frittata skewers, a mixture of eggs is first baked in the oven before being cut into cubes. Then, the frittata cubes get rolled with ham and cheese, threaded on skewers, and coated with parmesan before being baked in the oven.
What are Frittata Skewers?
Frittata skewers are rolls of frittata that are placed on skewers and baked in the oven. Each portion of frittata is stuffed with ham and cheese, which oozes out and adds a salty flavor. While they make a wonderful affordable and easy-to-prepare appetizer, they are also wonderful to serve for breakfast or as part of a special brunch.
Pro Tips
- Make sure you line the baking pan with parchment paper so the frittata is easy to remove.
- Use a large baking pan, which will ensure that the frittata is quite thin and easy to roll with the ham and cheese.
- Choose a cheese that melts easily such as mozzarella, Swiss, or provolone.
- Don’t overcook the frittata. You will know it is cooked through when it is set and slices easily.
- Feel free to add other herbs to the frittata mixture such as basil or oregano.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Frittata?
A frittata is a baked egg dish that can include a variation of ingredients such as herbs, spinach, bell peppers, zucchini, or mushrooms. Usually, frittata is mixed with enough fat or cheese that it has a custard-like texture once it is baked. Served in wedges, it is similar to quiche except it doesn’t include a crust like quiche does.
What Type of Cheese Should Be Used in Frittata Skewers?
Feel free to use whatever type of cheese you enjoy as long as it melts easily. Mozzarella, Swiss, provolone, or cheddar would all be great options.
Can I Add Other Ingredients to Frittata Skewers?
Yes, you can! For added color, feel free to add other ingredients to the skewers that will roast well in the oven such as cherry tomatoes, olives, or cubes of bell peppers.
How to Store Frittata Skewers
If you have leftover frittata skewers, you can store them in a container in the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days. Then, you can warm them up in the oven. Leftover skewers make a great protein-rich breakfast any day of the week.
