Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Servings: 6 servings

Ingredients 

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound fresh asparagus cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 8 large eggs
  • cup milk or heavy cream
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup cooked and crumbled bacon optional
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
  • 3 medium green onions, sliced thin

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heat the olive oil in a 10" oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the asparagus and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and pepper in a medium-size bowl. Pour the egg mixture over the softened asparagus in the skillet and stir to combine. Sprinkle with cheese and scatter bacon over the top, if desired.
  • Once the outside edge of the frittata turns lighter in color (about 1 minute), carefully transfer the frittata to the oven. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes, until the eggs have puffed up, and the center of the frittata wiggles just a tiny bit when you give it a gentle shake.
  • Remove from the oven, sprinkle with parsley and green onions, and slice into wedges. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.

Notes

You'll bake the frittata in the oven for 8-12 minutes. The cooking time will vary depending on how cooked the eggs are when you transfer the pan to the oven.
