Healthy, because
This frittata is particularly rich in biotin, which supports beautiful skin, strong hair, and strong fingernails. It also contains potassium, which regulates the body's water balance, nerve impulse conduction, and muscle contraction.
Even smarter
If you prefer your frittata without ham, substitute with a handful of fresh spinach and some Parmesan cheese for seasoning.
