# Cooking Steps:

01 - Set oven to 375°F and allow to fully preheat.

03 - Heat olive oil in a 10-12 inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
04 - Add diced ham, chopped spinach, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until vegetables are tender.
05 - Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly over the ham and vegetables in the skillet. Use a spatula to gently distribute the filling throughout.
06 - Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until the edges just begin to set.
07 - Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the center is just set and the top is lightly golden.
08 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh chives if desired. Slice into wedges and serve immediately, or cool completely for storage.
