Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 cup ham, diced
- 0.5 cup green bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup yellow onion, diced
- 0.75 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the diced ham to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned.
Add the diced green bell pepper, red bell pepper, and onion to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the ham and vegetables in the skillet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the egg mixture.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the frittata into wedges, garnish with chopped parsley (if using), and serve warm. Enjoy!
