Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little oil or cooking spray if you have it.

2. Pat the thawed asparagus dry and cut it into bite-size pieces. Spread the asparagus, chopped ham, chopped onion and chopped red bell peppers evenly in the dish.

3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, flour, dried tarragon, salt and black pepper until smooth.

4. Stir the grated Parmesan and about half of the shredded Cheddar into the egg mixture.

5. Pour the batter over the vegetables and ham in the dish, then sprinkle the remaining Cheddar on top.

6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until the top is golden and the center is set. The eggs must reach 160°F (71°C) in the center and the ham should be heated through.

7. Let the bake rest for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving.
