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.

This frittata was a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would use less olive oil next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.

I'm not a big fan of Canadian bacon, so I used ham instead. It turned out great! I also added some chopped bell pepper and onion to the mixture, which gave it a nice extra flavor.

I'm a big fan of frittatas and this one is one of my favorites! The asparagus and Canadian bacon add a nice savory flavor, and the cheese makes it nice and gooey. I always make this when I have guests over for brunch.

This frittata was a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would add some more milk or cream next time. Otherwise, the flavors were great.
