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. Sauté 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.

Beat the egg whites with a wire whisk or electric mixer until they hold soft peaks. Stir them gently into the batter.

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup yogurt (plain or vanilla)
1 egg
1 cup flour
1-1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Small pinch of cinnamon
In the blender, combine the oil, yogurt, and egg. Put the top on the blender and whirl batter until it is smooth.
In a separate bowl, stir together all the remaining ingredients. Add to the blender. Put the top back on the blender and whirl again.
Heat the pancake griddle until it is very hot. If it does not have a non-stick surface, put a bit of oil on it to prevent pancakes from sticking.
Pour the batter directly onto the griddle to form large pancakes. Cook until the tiny bubbles that form on the surface have popped and the edges of the pancake look dry. Use a pancake spatula to flip them over, and cook for a minute on the other side. Both sides of the pancake should be golden brown.
Serve with butter and syrup or with yogurt and fresh fruit.
Makes 6 large pancakes.

Filling
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
1 whole cinnamon stick
2 or 3 tart apples (such as granny Smith), peeled, cored, and sliced
Cake
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Garnish
Powdered sugar
Grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Dust with flour and tap out excess.
To prepare filling, in a large saucepan, mix together water, sugar, lemon zest, and cinnamon stick. Add the apple slices.
Cook over medium-high heat until the apples are just tender, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Cool the apple-cinnamon mixture, then drain. Discard cinnamon stick.
To prepare the cake, in a small bowl, mix together the flour and baking powder.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Reduce mixer speed to low. Beat in flour mixture and lemon zest.
Scrape half the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Arrange apples in an even layer on top. Spread the remaining batter over the apples.
Bake at 350 degrees until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool. Turn cake out onto a serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar.
