Simple Asparagus, Ham, and Gruyère Frittata

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 ½ pounds organic Yukon Gold potatoes, unpeeled, washed, cut into 1" chunks
  • 2 cups fresh asparagus spears, woody parts trimmed, cut into 1" pieces
  • 1 bunch green onions or shallots, finely chopped
  • 1 cup Canadian bacon or smoked ham cut into 1" pieces 
  • 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
  • 8 large eggs, whisked
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • fresh ground pepper
  • ¼ cup Ultra Premium Extra Virgin Olive Oil

DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Place the cut potatoes in a medium pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 5 minutes, drain, and reserve.

In a large, heavy, oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the potatoes and cook until golden brown, turning once. Add the green onions, asparagus, and sauté over medium heat for another 2 minutes.


Whisk together the eggs, salt, cheese, and pepper. Pour over the potatoes, directly into the pan. Shake the pan a couple times gently to distribute the egg, and pop the pan in the oven for 20-25 minutes, until the egg is set and the top is golden brown.

Remove from the oven, and run a knife along the inside perimeter to loosen from the pan. Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes,before inverting onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve.

Serves 6-8
