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:

  • Choose the Right Frying Pan: Opt for an oven-safe frying pan that can withstand high temperatures and is large enough to accommodate the frittata mixture.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh eggs, crisp vegetables, and flavorful cheese will elevate the taste of your frittata.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Pour the frittata mixture into the pan in a thin, even layer to ensure even cooking.
  • Cook Slowly and Gently: Over high heat, the frittata may burn before it is cooked through. Instead, cook it over medium-low heat, allowing it to set gradually.
  • Add Vegetables and Cheese During the Last Few Minutes: This prevents them from overcooking and losing their vibrant colors and flavors.
  • Don't Flip the Frittata: Unlike other egg dishes, frittatas are not flipped during cooking. Instead, they are finished in the oven.
  • Let the Frittata Cool before Cutting: This allows it to set properly and maintain its shape when sliced.

A versatile and delectable dish, the bacon and cheese frittata offers a symphony of flavors and textures. Its crispy bacon, gooey melted cheese, and tender eggs, combined with the vibrant colors of fresh vegetables, make it a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
