Deviled Ham Frittata With Jalapeno And Scallion Relish Recipes

DEVILED HAM

Steps:

• Pulse 8 ounces coarsely chopped country ham or good deli ham in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl and mix in 4 ounces room-temperature cream cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon hot sauce, 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard, and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional). Fold in 1 chopped scallion and 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley; season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.

HOMEMADE DEVILED HAM SPREAD

Steps:

• Place ham, mayonnaise, mustard, hot pepper sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, celery salt, black pepper, paprika, and caraway seeds in a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine.
• Use an immersion blender or food processor to puree the ingredients to your desired texture; stir in onion and celery. Chill before serving.

DEVILED SMOKED HAM SPREAD

Steps:

• Stir creamy salad dressing, sweet pickle relish, mustard, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl until thoroughly blended.
• Grind smoked ham, hard-cooked eggs, green onions, green bell pepper, and celery together into a bowl with a food grinder, spooning tablespoons of salad dressing mixture into the grinder for moisture as you work.
• Combine the ham mixture thoroughly with the remaining salad dressing mixture; store covered in refrigerator until serving time.

DEVILED HAM FRITTATA WITH JALAPENO AND SCALLION RELISH

Steps:

• Heat 1/3 cup of the vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Carefully add the jalapeno and scallions. Turn off the heat and stir to combine. Cook in the hot oil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in the sesame oil and season lightly with salt. Remove to a bowl and set aside until ready to serve. Wipe the pan clean.
• Heat the broiler with a rack set in the middle of the oven.
• Pulse the ham, onions and mustard in the bowl of a food processor until a chunky paste forms.
• Whisk the eggs and heavy cream in a mixing bowl.
• Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the same saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the pureed ham mixture and saute until the onions have softened and the mixture is lightly browned in parts, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to medium and wait 2 minutes in order for the pan to come down to temperature; continue stirring. Pour the beaten eggs over the ham, mix together and cook until the eggs start to set, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and continue to cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place the frittata under the broiler and broil until the top is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from the pan and invert onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve topped with the jalapeno and scallion relish. Serve alongside a lightly dressed green salad if desired.
