How to Make Spring Vegetable Frittata

  1. Steam or boil 1 cup of fresh or frozen peas, 1 cup chopped carrots, and 1 cup chopped asparagus until tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes). Drain well and set aside.
  2. Cook 4 slices of bacon in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet over low heat until crisp (about 10-12 minutes).
  3. Remove bacon with a slotted spoon and place on paper towels to drain. Crumble bacon once cool.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the bacon grease remaining in the skillet.
  5. Increase heat to medium-low and add 1 medium onion, chopped.
  6. Cook until translucent, stirring occasionally (about 5 minutes).
  7. Add the cooked peas, carrots, and asparagus to the onions. Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  8. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  9. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture in the skillet. Sprinkle with the crumbled bacon.
  10. Gently stir to combine.
  11. Preheat your broiler.
  12. Reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until the eggs are almost set (about 10-12 minutes).
  13. Remove the lid and place the skillet under the broiler until the eggs are lightly browned on top (about 2-3 minutes). Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  14. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and cut into wedges.
  15. **Alternative:** Substitute the spring vegetables with 1 cup of cooked, diced potatoes for a hearty twist.
