How to Make Asparagus And Ham Frittata

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim the asparagus and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet (10-12 inches) over medium heat.
  5. Add the asparagus and ham to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is tender-crisp and ham is heated through.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus and ham in the skillet.
  7. Cook for 5 minutes on the stovetop, or until the edges begin to set.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown.
  9. Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh chives, if desired.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
