This nutritious naturally gluten free frittata with ham comes together fast and is a great way to use up ham leftovers.
Indulge in a flavorful frittata showcasing the richness of bite-sized ham, the sweetness of sautéed onions, and the subtle aroma of garlic, harmoniously blended with creamy eggs, Parmesan cheese, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.
A frittata is an Italian style omelette that’s a perfect breakfast or brunch recipe, lunch, or even dinner. Rather than folding the egg over the filling, you’ll stir the eggs and ingredients together, and cook them slowly.
I cook all the ingredients in a cast-iron skillet that can be transferred to the oven and broiled. In no more than twenty minutes, we’re enjoying an easy and delicious meal.
And besides this tasty ham frittata, I’ve got a couple more options that you’ll definitely want to try. We’re talking about a comforting broccoli frittata, a hearty Italian frittata with sausage, red peppers, potatoes, and onions, and a fancy frittata with goat cheese, leeks, and sage —all waiting to be devoured!

Instructions
*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.
Heat oil and butter in your oven-safe skillet over a medium flame until it’s hot, but not smoking. Then add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat your broiler on low.
Then whisk eggs, garlic, salt, pepper, milk, and parmesan cheese in a bowl. Then pour into your skillet and stir to distribute the onions evenly and add ham evenly over the top. Cover and cook until the egg is almost set, about 2 minutes.
Finally, uncover the skillet and place the skillet under the broiler about 7 inches from the heat source, until the top is golden brown and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
Garnish with fresh herbs and serve.
