Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C).

Grab an 8-inch non-stick skillet.

Add 6 eggs to a bowl and beat them gently until well incorporated.

Season the eggs with salt and pepper.

Add cheddar cheese, cooked ham, roasted red peppers, and parsley to the egg mixture.

Stir the mixture gently to combine all ingredients.

Add whole milk to the mixture for richness and creaminess.

Heat the skillet on high heat before adding butter.

Add butter to the hot skillet and wait for it to melt and sizzle.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and move it around slightly to start cooking.

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes.

Check the frittata to ensure it is puffed up and set in the middle.

Remove the skillet from the oven using an oven mitt.

Turn the frittata out onto a cutting board and cut into wedges.
