ASPARAGUS, CANADIAN BACON, AND CHEESE FRITTATA: LOW CARB



Asparagus, Canadian Bacon, and Cheese Frittata: Low Carb image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 large eggs
4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
4 ounces medium asparagus stalks (about 8), woody stems trimmed, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
4 medium slices Canadian bacon (about 2 ounces), coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, 3 tablespoons of the cheese, the milk, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to taste together in a bowl.
  • Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and Canadian bacon, and cook until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently to distribute the fillings evenly. Cover, and cook until the bottom sets, but does not get too brown, about 9 minutes. Remove the cover, scatter the remaining 1 tablespoon of cheese over the surface. Run the frittata under the broiler until the top sets and browns slightly, about 1 minute. Set aside for about 5 minutes before unmolding. Slip the frittata out of the pan onto a cutting board, cut into wedges. Serve warm or room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh asparagus: Fresh asparagus has a crisp texture and a sweet flavor. Avoid asparagus that is wilted or has brown spots.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: Crispy bacon adds a smoky flavor and a satisfying crunch to the frittata.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the frittata. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a flavor that you enjoy.
  • Don't overcook the frittata: The frittata is done when it is set in the center. Overcooking will make the frittata dry and tough.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: This will allow the frittata to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Asparagus bacon frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipe. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to please everyone at the table. This frittata is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus and bacon. So next time you have some leftover asparagus and bacon, give this frittata a try. You won't be disappointed!
