Ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 cups cooked ham, diced
• 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
• 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
• 0.5 medium yellow onion, diced
• 1 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoons unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking dish with the unsalted butter and set aside.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Stir the cooked vegetables, diced ham, and shredded cheddar cheese into the egg mixture until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden on top.

Step 7

Remove from the oven and allow the frittata to rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 8

Serve warm as is, or with a side of fresh greens or toast if desired.
