Asparagus Frittata | Delicious & Authentic Italian Recipe

This style of frittata comes from the southern Italian region of Puglia. It’s notable not only for being a wonderful asparagus dish, but also for incorporating bread into the egg mix. As we all know, bread make everything better, including frittate!

FRITTATA DI ASPARAGI RECIPE


Makes: 6-8 servings

Cook Time: 45 minutes


For this recipe, you will need:

  • 12 oz. (340g) asparagus, trimmed

  • 2-3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, plus extra for brushing the dish

  • Salt

  • 3.5 oz. (100g) homemade bread, crust removed (this is a great way to use bread that’s going stale)

  • 1.75 oz. (50g) grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

  • 1.75 oz. (50g) grated pecorino Romano cheese

  • 6 large eggs

  • Fresh black pepper

  • Skillet

  • Mixing bowls

  • Spatula or spoon

  • Whisk or fork

  • Basting brush

  • 9-inch pie dish, or similar


Prep the asparagus by first cutting the head off and setting them aside. Chop the stems into 1-inch (2.5cm) pieces.


Heat the olive oil in a pan over medium/high. Add the chopped asparagus and sauté for 5 minutes. Stir in the asparagus heads and cook for a further 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and set aside for later.


Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F (205 C).


Place the bread in a bowl and fill with water to submerge. Let the bread soak for just a minute, then drain it and squeeze all the excess moisture out. Tear the damp bread into small pieces and place into a dry mixing bowl, along with the asparagus and grated cheeses. Mix together with a spatula.


Separately, whisk the eggs with a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Thoroughly stir the eggs into the bread/asparagus mixture.


Brush a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil and pour the frittata mix in. Flatten the top with a spatula. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden on top. Serve warm or cold.


Buon appetito!

It's like fried eggs but with a healthier version when combined with asparagus.

This is the best frittata I have ever made. It is now my go-to recipe. The first time I made as demonstrated. I have since made an Asparagus Grilled Salmon version and a Ham and Broccoli version. Simply the best!
