Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
- Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (9-10 inches) over medium heat.
- Add the diced ham to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the ham is slightly browned and fragrant.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, ensuring the ham is evenly distributed. Cook for 3-4 minutes without stirring, until the edges start to set.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, and fresh parsley evenly over the top of the frittata.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and set in the center, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into wedges.
- Serve warm with a side salad or crusty bread for a complete meal.
Tips
- For added flavor, consider sautéing some bell peppers or spinach with the ham.
- You can use different cheeses such as Swiss or feta for a unique twist.
- This frittata can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
