Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.

Delicious and easy. Made exactly as written. Next time will add onions
added saumade even better!
Nice spring dish. Will definitely make it again. We added chopped onions in step 1 and sliced partially cooked Yukon Gold potatoes in step two.
Oh my gosh ! Loved this recipe! My new favorite frittata!! I definitely will be making this again. I only added onion and garlic to the veggies when sautéing ❤️
The best frittata I’ve ever made! The combination of stovetop at low heat then broiler helped it cook through without getting dried out like my frittatas have in the past. I also added onions and a little garlic while sauteeing the asparagus and Canadian bacon in bacon grease in my favorite ultra-slick cast iron skillet. I may have been a little heavy-handed with the Parmesan, too. ;-P
loved it
I added a little onion with the asparagus and cooked a little longer than the recipe calls for. I added just sliced deli ham. I also added a little cilantro to the eggs. I was VERY good! I am going to make it again tomorrow.
Great Recipe. Loved the lemon zest addition. Gave it a very fresh taste and super simple. Would recommend to anyone. In fact I have.
I loved it!! Will make it again
This was an easy dinner option and our family loves asparagus. I however do not have a skillet that can be put in the oven so I pre-heated my oven to 425 and followed the recipe except I mixed the egg mixture, asparagus and bacon into a casserole and baked it for 20 mins. It turned out pretty good. I think it could have used more cheese.
