Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red and green bell peppers and onion. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Stir the cooked vegetables, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and allow the frittata to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm as is, or with a side of fresh greens or toast if desired.
