Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a 10-inch cast iron skillet or oven-proof pan on medium heat, warm the olive oil and melt the butter. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender and translucent, then add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  3. While the onion is cooking, in a medium bowl, crack the eggs, add the milk, 3/4 of the shredded cheese, salt, and pepper, and whisk until well combined, then set aside.
  4. Add the ham to the skillet with the onion mixture, spreading it out evenly, then pour in the egg mixture to cover the onion, garlic, and ham.
  5. Continue cooking the frittata, without stirring, until the sides begin to set, about 3 minutes. Then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top and transfer the cast iron skillet to the oven to bake for 10-15 minutes until the eggs are set. 
  6. The frittata can be served immediately or cooled and then store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

To Use Dried Onion and Garlic: Use 1 teaspoon of onion powder and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder.
