WW – Asparagus, Bacon, and Cheese Frittata Recipe

Posted by Grandma Jeanne on January 1, 2008

I got this recipe from my daughter who says it is excellent!

Not only are frittatas an excellent way to enjoy breakfast or brunch, they give you the perfect opportunity to use up leftover vegetables, lean meats, and day-old bread.

2 teaspoons olive oil or vegetable oil
4 slices uncooked turkey bacon, diced
1/2 cup onion, diced
2 cups asparagus, fresh or frozen and thawed, cut into 1-inch pieces
8 slices light whole wheat bread, cubed
1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, about 4 ounces
4 large eggs
5 large egg whites
3/4 cup fat-free skim milk
2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

Heat oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium heat.

Add bacon and cook until golden brown, about 4 minutes.

Add onion and asparagus. Saute until vegetables are soft, about 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and stir in bread; sprinkle cheddar cheese over top.

Preheat broiler.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, milk, mustard, salt, and pepper.

Pour egg mixture over bread mixture in skillet, and set pan over medium-high heat. Cook until almost cooked through to the top, shaking pan frequently to promote even cooking, about 5 to 7 minutes.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top of frittata.

Place pan under broiler and broil until top is golden brown and frittata is cooked through, about 1 to 2 minutes.

Slice into 6 pieces and serve.

Yields 1 piece per serving.
