Ingredients

• 8 eggs
• 0.25 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoons butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 cups ham, diced
• 1 cups spinach, chopped
• 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil and butter in an oven-safe, non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the diced onion and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 5

Stir in the diced ham and cook for another 2 minutes until warmed through.

Step 6

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, just until wilted.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and evenly spread the mixture across the bottom of the skillet.

Step 8

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and ham. Use a spatula to gently move the edges so the eggs start cooking evenly.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the frittata.

Step 10

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
