Description

This Asparagus Tomato Frittata is a light, flavorful, and protein-packed breakfast or brunch dish made with fresh asparagus, juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy Havarti cheese, and aromatic dill. It’s low-carb, easy to prepare, and perfect for spring or summer mornings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz. fresh asparagus, ends trimmed and cut into small pieces
  • 2 tsp. olive oil (or more as needed)
  • 2/3 cup diced cherry tomatoes
  • 1 tsp. dried dill weed
  • 4 oz. Havarti cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 6 eggs, beaten well
  • Spike seasoning, salt, and black pepper to taste
  • Sliced green onions for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Trim the woody ends of the asparagus and cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces.
  2. Heat olive oil in a heavy oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add asparagus and cook for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender.
  4. Dice cherry tomatoes and Havarti cheese into small cubes.
  5. Add tomatoes and dried dill weed to the pan, cooking for another 1–2 minutes.
  6. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with Spike seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  7. Pour the beaten eggs over the asparagus and tomato mixture in the skillet.
  8. Sprinkle Havarti cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Cover the skillet and cook on low heat for 8–10 minutes, or until eggs are set and cheese is melted.
  10. Preheat the broiler while the frittata cooks.
  11. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and brown the top for 1–2 minutes, watching closely.
  12. Remove from heat, slice into wedges, garnish with green onions, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Use fresh dill instead of dried for a brighter flavor.
  • Any mild white cheese that melts well can replace Havarti.
  • Watch closely under the broiler to prevent over-browning.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
