Basil Frittata

This is being posted for zwt 2006 (italian region). Frittatas are simply omelettes and this is a wonderful example of one. I love fresh basil and grow it every year and this is a great showcase for it. You can also add a little bit of mozzarella cheese to this one to get that yummy stringy cheese thing going.

Steps

Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet , and cook the onions until they are golden and soft.
Add this mixture to the potatoes.
Add in the ham and mix well.
Beat the eggs together , and then pour this mixture into the bowl with the potatoes.
Season with salt and pepper , add in the cheese and basil and mix well.
Heat the remaining butter in a nonstick skillet on medium.
Once it is foaming , add the potato egg mixture into the pan.
Turn the heat to low and once the eggs have set , and the only remaining moistness is in the center , place the skillet under the broiler until the top is set and golden.
