asparagus and ham frittata

one of the most easy and economical/cost effective ways to use up every single leftover in your fridge (besides making a weirdy/nasty casserole that no one will eat) is to make a frittata!
easier and much healthier than a quiche (no buttery crust) and ready in like...20 minutes tops. amazing!
the best part about a frittata, is that you  can keep using the same base of eggs and milk and cheese, and sub in whatever veggies and meats you want. forever! and always. ok, i got no sleep last night, guys! getting up at3 am is a huge change for me. i am ok with being delirious and crazy-ish for a while, until i adjust.
wow, anyway!
here's what you need:

10 eggs
3 tbsp  butter
salt and pepper to taste
4 oz sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups diced ham
1/2 red onion, chopped
2 potatoes (of any variety), cubed
1/3 cup milk
1 heaping tsp mustard powder
1 tsp sea salt
6-7 asparagus spears, cut into strips --->     like so    ---->



place asparagus spears into an oven-safe skillet, cover with water, and bring to a boil, and cook about 3 minutes. drain, douse with cold water to stop it from cooking
more, and drain again. set aside.

using same oven-safe skillet, melt butter, add red onion and ham, cooking for about 5 minutes. then add potatoes and asparagus, and cook for two minutes more.





next, whisk up your eggs, milk, and spices. turn the skillet to medium, and let the eggs set without stirring or touching the pan at all, for about 8 minutes. then, put the oven on broil, and depending on oven times, it could be in there for anywhere from 4-8 minutes. mine was 8.

pull her outta there! (WITH A HOT PAD)





ENJOY!
