Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C), ensuring it’s ready for the frittata.
- In a nonstick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until bubbly.
- Add the diced potatoes, chopped onions, and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, cooking until tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- Incorporate the asparagus pieces and diced ham, if you’re using it, and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
- Carefully spread the cooked vegetable and ham mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, ensuring an even layer.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, half-and-half cream, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, grated parmesan, chopped parsley, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable layer in the baking dish, allowing it to cover everything evenly.
- For a decorative touch, top the frittata with the asparagus tips.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the frittata cool for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy this delightful Frittata Primavera at your next brunch, and savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures!
