Sauté onions until softened. Add spinach and cook until wilted.

Grease the bottom and sides of a cast iron skillet with olive oil using a pastry brush. Transfer cooked onions, spinach, and mushrooms to the skillet.

Spread cubed ham evenly over the other ingredients.

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the middle of the frittata is fully cooked.

Let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve.
