Deviled Ham Frittata with Jalapeno and Scallion Relish

• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 jalapeno, halved and thinly sliced
• 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• Kosher salt
• 8 ounces spiral ham, roughly chopped (about 1 1/2 cups)
• 1/2 small red onion, roughly chopped (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/3 cup yellow mustard
• 10 large eggs
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar
• Green salad, for serving, optional

1. Heat 1/3 cup of the vegetable oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof saute pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
2. Carefully add the jalapeno and scallions.
3. Turn off the heat and stir to combine.
4. Cook in the hot oil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
5. Stir in the sesame oil and season lightly with salt.
6. Remove to a bowl and set aside until ready to serve.
7. Wipe the pan clean.
8. Heat the broiler with a rack set in the middle of the oven.
9. Pulse the ham, onions and mustard in the bowl of a food processor until a chunky paste forms.
10. Whisk the eggs and heavy cream in a mixing bowl.
11. Heat the remaining vegetable oil in the same saute pan over medium-high heat.
12. 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.
13. Reduce the heat to medium and wait 2 minutes in order for the pan to come down to temperature; continue stirring.
14. Pour the beaten eggs over the ham, mix together and cook until the eggs start to set, about 2 minutes.
15. Sprinkle with the cheese and continue to cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
16. Place the frittata under the broiler and broil until the top is golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
17. Let stand for 5 minutes.
18. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from the pan and invert onto a plate.
19. Cut into wedges and serve topped with the jalapeno and scallion relish.
20. Serve alongside a lightly dressed green salad if desired.
