Ingredients

12 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 onion diced
2 cups smoked ham diced
Chopped fresh parsley or green onion optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°.
Dice onion and smoked ham.
To a 12 inch oven safe skillet, melt the butter and add in the onions.
Sauté the onion on medium until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add your diced ham to the skillet and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a large bowl until it just comes together.
Pour egg mixture over the onions and ham, while the skillet is still on medium heat.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top. Cook for another 5 minutes over medium heat. The edges will begin to cook and pull away from the side of the pan.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for an additional 18-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
Sprinkle the top with fresh chopped parsley or green onions if you'd like!

Notes

For the best results, do not over beat the eggs. This will make the frittata dense and cause it to fall.

Make sure to use a 12" skillet. Otherwise, you'll need to adjust the ingredient amounts and baking time.

You can customize this recipe to your liking! Replace the ham with bacon or use feta instead of cheddar cheese. This is a very versatile recipe!
