Bacon Asparagus Frittata Recipe
Description
The Bacon Asparagus Frittata Recipe highlights a mix of crispy bacon pieces and asparagus cooked in reserved bacon drippings alongside garlic, creating a savory base. Eggs blended with half the bacon, cheese, cream, parsley, and green onions are baked to a puffed and firm texture, then topped with remaining cheddar cheese for added richness. The result is a baked frittata with a tender yet slightly firm center, smoky bacon flavor, and the freshness of herbs layered throughout. The asparagus adds a subtle vegetal note that complements the savory, creamy egg mixture.
Baked in a 9 or 10-inch dish, the frittata can be served warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with simple sides for any meal occasion where egg dishes are desired. The assembly and baking method allow for straightforward preparation and even cooking.
Ingredients
- 8 lices Bacon cut in 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup asparagus cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 cloves garlic
- 10 egg large
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1/4 /4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 /4 cup parsley chopped
- 2 tablespoons green onion chopped
- 1/2 /2 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 or 10 inch baking dish with cooking spray. It can be round or square.
- In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. With a slotted spoon remove from pan and drain bacon on paper towels. Drain bacon drippings leaving about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the pan.
- Cook asparagus in reserved bacon drippings for a couple of minutes or until desired tenderness (asparagus will continue to cook in the oven). Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs, 1/2 the bacon, 1/2 the cheddar cheese, cream, parsley, 1/2 the green onions, asparagus, salt, and pepper to preference. Whisk together and pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until egg is puffed and set in the middle. If you are using a 9-inch pan it will puff very high but will settle as it cools. Add the remaining cheese for the last couple of minutes of baking to melt. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining bacon and green onions. Serve!
