Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cups whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup (chopped) asparagus
- 0.75 cups (diced) ham
- 2 stalks (thinly sliced) scallions
- 0.25 cups (chopped) fresh parsley
- 0.25 cups (chopped) fresh dill
- 0.25 cups grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position a rack in the center of the oven.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe, nonstick skillet (10-inch diameter) over medium heat.
Add the chopped asparagus and sauté for 3–4 minutes, or until tender and lightly crisp. Remove the asparagus from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and stir in the diced ham and sliced scallions. Cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently.
Reduce the heat to low and return the cooked asparagus to the skillet. Spread the mixture evenly across the bottom of the pan.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, tilting the pan gently to ensure even coverage. Sprinkle the parsley, dill, and Parmesan cheese over the top.
Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes without stirring, until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is just set.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 3–5 minutes before slicing into wedges.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional herbs if desired.
