Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cups whole milk
- 1 bunch asparagus
- 4 slices Canadian bacon
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Trim the woody ends from the asparagus and cut the remaining stalks into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
Dice the Canadian bacon into small bite-sized pieces.
Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized, oven-safe skillet (10 to 12 inches) over medium heat.
Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are bright green and just tender.
Add the diced Canadian bacon to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes to warm through.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture evenly over the asparagus and bacon in the skillet. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
Let the frittata cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes, just until the edges begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
