How to make a frittata with spinach, bacon and asparagus
Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Add half cup of the cheese and set aside.
Step 2: In a cast-iron skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove to paper towel-lined plate to cool, then crumble. Drain off all but about a tablespoon of the bacon drippings and cook the onion a few minutes until tender. Add the garlic; cook one minute more.
Step 3: While the bacon is cooking, steam the asparagus until tender and bright green (2-4 minutes) then chop into 2-inch pieces and add to the cooked onion and garlic.
Step 4: Add some fresh baby spinach and saute until that wilts. It won’t take long!
Step 5: Arrange the ingredients in the skillet so that they’re evenly scattered. Add bacon crumbles to the egg mixture and pour over the vegetables. Cook for about 5 minutes without stirring until the eggs are starting to set. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
Step 6: As with most frittatas, this one starts on the stovetop and finishes it in the oven, so move the skillet to the oven and bake 10-15 minutes until the middle is barely set.
You’ll be rewarded with the most delicious bacon, asparagus and spinach frittata!
