Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is light and well-combined. Set aside.
Thinly slice the shallots and mushrooms. Dice the ham into small cubes. Chop the fresh parsley leaves finely.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced shallots to the skillet and sauté for 2 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the mushrooms and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their moisture and brown slightly.
Stir in the diced ham and cook for another 1-2 minutes, just enough to heat through.
Reduce the heat to low and evenly distribute the sautéed mixture across the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the top, tilting the skillet gently to ensure it spreads evenly.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before slicing into wedges and serving.
