A simple, keto-friendly spring meal that uses green asparagus, spring onions, black olives and crème fraîche and is ready in just 30 minutes. It's delicious fresh-out-of-the-oven, at room-temperature or even cold and needs nothing more with it other than a green salad. It's excellent for a picnic too.
A frittata is something between a quiche and an omelette. And it's designed to use up scraps of this or that and leftover bits of whatever you have in the fridge, so don't be afraid of adjusting the recipe to suit your need. This recipe is based on Marissa's Asparagus Frittata, with a few small tweaks. I use 14 eggs (7 large and 7 small) for my 12-inch cast-iron skillet, if you want to use a smaller 9 or 10-inch one, then 10 large eggs would be enough. Don't over mix your eggs as you don't want to incorporate too much air into the mixture. Otherwise, the frittata will expand and puff up too much.
|
- Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Crack the eggs into a jug. Add crème fraîche, salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese. Whisk until mixture is combined. Set aside.
- Heat ghee in a 12-inch cast iron skillet or ovenproof skillet over medium heat until sizzling. Stir in chopped green onions, asparagus and cook a few minutes until bright green and crisp-tender. Add in black olives.
- Whisk egg mixture once more and pour over asparagus. Remove from heat and sprinkle with grated Cheddar cheese.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata has become golden, puffed and just set. Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve with some spring salad if desired.

...a timely recipe, we just bought some asparagus.
Lots of eggs!
A very hearty frittata
The fritatta is a quick way to make an omelette without the inconveniences that it brings when wanting to turn it over.
What a great frittata!....I can live on omelettes and fritattas!....delicious!!.......Abrazotes, Marcela
Boy does that look terrific!
Oh wow that looks delicious
Another fabulous looking dish!
I was going to make an asparagus quiche tomorrow, but I may skip the crust and make a frittata. But even though it's lots of calories, I do like the crust. Happy new week Angie.
Sumptuous dish
Se ve muy rica gracias por la reseña
Judee: This recipe sounds heavenly. Of course I love anything made with black olives. I've been making asparagus this week too.
Sounds like a tasty and great frittata.
Me gustan las frittatas porque son pasteles salados deliciosos y se pueden variar de ingredientes a nuestro antojo. Es una receta de aprovechamiento ideal.
Besos.
Arricchirò la mia prossima frittata con i tuoi suggerimenti, grazie! Deve essere buonissima!
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing
That is a whola lotta eggs, deary LOL The prices have went up here for eggs as well, so it is 2,5 euro or even 3 for a carton of ten. Usually, I wouldn't give a flying schmuck about it as I hadn't eaten eggs before,but glutenfree recipes often require an egg and I cannot always use the flax or chia replacement.
Angie, thanks for the tip on mixing the eggs. Asparagus is in season right now and I can't eat enough of it. Bernadette, New Classic Recipes
