I always love discovering new recipes for breakfast. This frittata recipe is a real gem and it's made with fresh herbs harvested from the garden. If you don't have a garden, you can still use soft herbs like parsley, oregano, and chives. For extra flavor and texture, you can add fresh asparagus, pancetta, and soft cheese such as Feta. This dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or lunch. If you prefer, you can serve it with a side of fresh salad for some extra freshness.

    Chop the herbs and add them to a small bowl. Chop off any hard parts of the asparagus. Cut the pancetta into small cubes. Set a rack on the lowest part of the oven and preheat it to 200 °C / 400 °F. Grab a 24 cm (10-inch) oven-safe pan. We are using Tefal Ingenio Unlimited (24 cm) with a removable handle.

Add the asparagus and pan-fry for a minute, then add the egg mixture. Reduce the heat to low heat and cook for 2 - 3 minutes for the eggs to cook, stirring consistently. Add the cheese and stir.

  • bake

    Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 8 - 10 minutes at 200 °C / 400 °F or until golden and cooked. Remove from the oven. Optionally sprinkle with fresh herbs and shredded parmesan cheese. Serve.
