Asparagus and Potato Frittata
Today I’m sharing this simple frittata recipe. I have been trying to be careful of what I eat lately. I am reducing fat and trying to include more vegetables in my diet.
One of the easiest ways for me to include more vegetables in my diet is to make a quiche. With our own ducks and chickens, we always have extra eggs.
Normally, when I make quiche, I use a pie crust and add quite a bit of cheese. That’s not really a low-fat type of meal.
To help keep the calories down, I decided to make a frittata recipe instead. Since I received Klondike Rose potatoes and Green Giant Fresh Asparagus for a feature on my site, those were the main ingredients in my frittata recipe.
Now is the perfect time to try out this frittata recipe for yourself.
A frittata is an Italian dish that is made with beaten eggs. It is very similar to an omelet except the ingredients are cooked in the eggs instead of being placed in the center of the eggs before they are folded.
If you are not watching your calories, a handful of shredded cheese on top of this while it is under the broiler is absolutely amazing.
A frittata is a wonderful lunch with a salad or as a side for dinner with meat and bread. You can vary the vegetables but since there is such a great deal at Target right now, pick up some Klondike Rose potatoes and Green Giant Fresh Asparagus and try it this way.

This sounds delicious and healthy. I love having egg recipes because they are so healthy and cheap – and asparagus is perfect.
Thanks so much, Rose!
There’s no limit to what you can put into a frittata. I find it a good way to use leftover pasta, with some cubed, grilled aubergine and a sprinkling of feta cheese…
Very true. That does sound good!
I love asparagus and am happy to say even the kids will eat it. this looks really good!

This looks so yummy. I will have to put it on my menu for next week to try it out.
This sounds wonderful. Can’t wait to try it.
Question – the first step is to “cook the potatoes and asparagus until almost tender” ?
How? in a pan with nothing else? with oliveoil? with broth? water?
Not the best of cooks, so I need a bit of guidance.
thanks,
Hi Tracie – I steamed mine but you could boil them too. 🙂
That looks super yummy!! I don’t eat white potatoes, but I bet it would be great with sweet potatoes!!
It’s very pretty – my husband would eat it if I took out the potatoes. I’d add pepper for him
I love asparagus but nobody else in my family does. This is great because I can make just one of these.
