Instructions
Prepare
- Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and grease a baking safe dish (e.g. pie dish) with butter/oil.

Bake

Notes
Note 1 - Oil
Substitute with oil of choice or even melted butter.
Note 2 - Cheese
Use cheese of choice. Cheeses like mozzarella will make the frittata creamier and cheesier, while a cheddar will add a sharp taste to the mix.
Note 3 - Ham
I used some leftover Baked Ham, but you could substitute with deli ham.
Note 4 - Asparagus
I made this recipe initially in summer so asparagus was in season. If it's not in season, substitute with canned asparagus, but ensure it is adequately drained so the moisture doesn't impact the texture of the frittata.
