Asparagus Frittata

I love frittata’s just about any way. But this Asparagus Frittata is a perfect for spring.

Crisp tender asparagus and broccoli are sauteed with a bit of bacon for a rich, smokey base. And then baked up with fluffy, creamy eggs, for a delightful gluten-free frittata.

How to Make Asparagus Frittata

Step 1: Saute the veggies.

• In a large oven safe skillet or cast iron skillet, saute bacon, until crisp tender.
• Remove bacon from skillet and place on a paper towel lined plate.
• Drain all but 1/2 tablespoon bacon grease.
• Add in broccoli, asparagus, and sweet onions.

Step 2: Add the eggs.

• Mix eggs with spices and dairy of choice.
• Stir in your favorite cheese (or leave cheese out if desired) and pour into skillet.

Step 3: Bake Frittata

• Place frittata into the oven to bake until eggs are set up.

Easy Peasy.

Modifications for this Spring Vegetable Frittata

• If you would like to make this Asparagus Frittata without bacon, use 1/2 tablespoon olive oil instead of bacon fat.
• Use any cheese you like for the frittata, but I love to use sharp Parmesan or tangy Feta, as they both compliment asparagus well.
• I love the combination of asparagus and broccoli together, but feel free to use all asparagus or all broccoli.

Ingredients

• 3 strips thick nitrate free bacon chopped

• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

• Heat the oven to 350.

• Whisk together eggs, milk, cheese, and salt and pepper.
• Add the bacon back into the skillet and then pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.

• If you would like an even crispier crust (as I do) broil for 2-3 minutes.
