Meal: Ham and Asparagus Casserole

Ham and Asparagus Casserole:
This is cross between a quiche and a frittata. Sometimes I'll use Canadian bacon since it's lower in fat.

Ingredients
2 cups cooked ham, cubed
1/2 cup chopped green onion
2 cups chopped fresh asparagus, cut into 1/2-1 inch pieces
2 tbsp butter
8 eggs
2 cups milk
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp dried thyme
3/4 tsp dried rosemary
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 - 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the asparagus and green onions and saute until tender, about 8 minutes, stirring frequently. When the asparagus and onions are tender, add them to the baking dish along with the ham. In a large bowl, beat together the eggs, milk, flour, Parmesan cheese, salt, thyme, rosemary, garlic and pepper. Beat until smooth and pour over the ham mixture. Bake uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese. Bake an additional 3 to 5 minutes until cheese is melted. Let it set for 5 minutes before cutting and serving.
