Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a cast-iron skillet, or oven-safe skillet, coated with olive oil, roast the chopped asparagus on the stovetop over medium-high heat until tender and caramelized; about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
Add butter to the skillet and allow it to melt.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Stir in the ham.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, pulling the egg from the sides, until the eggs start to set. Sprinkle the cheese over the frittata and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until the eggs are almost set but the top is still runny; about 2 minutes.
Place the skillet in the oven and bake until the eggs are set and the frittata is golden brown; 5-8 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before cutting into wedges.
