Ingredients:

1 tsp butter
4.73g
1/2 cup asparagus
70g
4 oz ham
110g
1/4 cup red pepper
24g
6 eggs
300g
1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
5g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Prepare Vegetables and Ham:
- Wash and chop the asparagus into bite-sized pieces.
- Dice the red pepper into small cubes.
- Dice the ham into small pieces if not already done.
3. Sauté Vegetables and Ham:
- Heat 1 teaspoon of butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Add the chopped asparagus and diced red pepper to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are starting to soften.
- Add the diced ham to the skillet and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is well mixed and warmed through.
4. Prepare Egg Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, crack the 6 eggs.
- Add a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to the eggs.
- Whisk the eggs thoroughly until they are well beaten and the mixture is smooth.
5. Combine and Cook:
- Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables and ham in the skillet.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for about 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
6. Bake in Oven:
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed up and golden brown, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
7. Serve:
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Tips:

- Make sure to evenly chop all vegetables to ensure they cook uniformly.

- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.

- Feel free to add other vegetables of your choice for added nutrition and variety.

- Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air; this will result in a fluffier frittata.

- Cook the frittata on low heat to avoid browning the bottom too quickly.

This Ham, Asparagus, and Red Pepper Frittata with Parmesan Cheese is a versatile and delicious meal option that can be enjoyed at any time of the day. With its blend of flavors and satisfying ingredients, it's sure to become a favorite in your recipe repertoire. Enjoy!
