Frittata With Prosciutto & Baby Spinach
A frittata is a simple yet delicious way to highlight Prosciutto di Parma for an easy brunch dish. Replace the typical cubed country ham with the diced prosciutto end piece to enhance a breakfast staple and further bring out the flavors of the other ingredients, like fresh basil. Suggest a bottle of champagne or prosecco to guests for the ideal Prosciutto di Parma pairing.
