Ham and Cheese and What?

We are in the middle of moving and I knew it was going to be difficult to get something posted for this month's Improv Cooking Challenge, but I didn't want to miss this month's challenge.
I decided that I was going to to do something super simple. So I decided to make Ham and Cheese Frittatas. They were so super simple to make. I can't imagine why I have never made them before. They were packed with ham and cheese and pig jowl bacon. Who knew that pig jowl bacon tasted soooooo good??? It does y'all. Then I decided to top the frittatas with a drizzle of some Creamy Jalapeño Sauce and they were gone in 5. Which worked out perfectly and then we were back packing up.
So here's the recipe y'all:

5 eggs

1/2 cup cubed ham

3 slices of pig jowl bacon, fried and crumbled

1/2 cup potatoes, cubed and fried (I used frozen to save time)

1/2 cup shredded cheese. I used Mexican blend

4 tbsp milk

Salt and pepper to season

~~~~~~

Mix the egg and milk together, cover and set aside. Fry up the potatoes and drain. Next fry up the bacon and crumble. Using 5 ramekins start layering your frittatas. Potatoes go in first. Next add the ham and bacon. Top each with cheese. Lastly cover with the milk and egg mixture.  Place in a Ban Marie and bake for 30 minutes. Serve warm with a drizzle of Creamy Jalepeño Sauce, you can find the recipe here Or top with your favorite salsa.

Creamy Jalepeño Sauce

I went to lunch with a friend recently and tasted this wonderful creamy Jalepeño sauce. It was just so good that I knew I wanted to try and make some. The sauce I came up with tastes similar to what I ate at the restaurant, but I added some cilantro to mine.  I am sure this would even make a pretty spectacular dressing for salads too.

So here is my version of a creamy jalepeño sauce.

1 cup sour cream

1 cup of mayonnaise 

4 pickled jalepeños, remove the seeds of you like it milder

4 tbls of ranch dressing mix

Juice of one lime

1/2 cup of fresh cilantro

Place everything in a blender and blend until jalepeños and cilantro are finely minced and all ingredients are incorporated and creamy.

Serve as a dipping sauce for your steak quesadillas or use as a dip for nachos . *Refrigerate any unused sauce.* 

This recipe makes 3 cups.
