BACON ASPARAGUS FRITTATA RECIPE
Everyone around me is still drinking the Keto Koolaid and I’m trying to make recipes that are great for them and tasty for everyone else. This Bacon Asparagus Frittata recipe is a fit for ALL my people.
Easter is around the corner and it means brunch with family and friends. When I think brunch I think eggs. Currently I’m dreaming about Cadbury eggs but don’t worry I didn’t put those in here. My mom used to buy crates on crates of them (of course we have ten kids in our family).
My mom used to hide our Easter baskets in the backyard and we would have to search to find ours. I have such vivid memories of finding my basket and immediately opening the first Cadbury egg (which had already started to melt in the Arizona sun) and devouring it right away.
WHAT MAKES THIS BACON ASPARAGUS FRITTATA RECIPE AWESOME?
Um, hello! Bacon, cheese, eggs, asparagus…how can you go wrong?
OTHER LOW-CARB VEGETABLES
I realize that asparagus might not be everyone’s favorite so here are some other low-carb veggie options to substitute for asparagus. You can also just leave it out.
- Broccoli
- Spinach
- Kale
- Zucchini
- Avocado

Bacon Asparagus Frittata Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 slices of bacon, cut in 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup asparagus cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 2 cloves garlic
- 10 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9 or 10 inch baking dish with cooking spray. It can be round or square.
- In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crispy. With a slotted spoon remove from pan and drain bacon on paper towels. Drain bacon drippings leaving about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the pan.
- Cook asparagus in reserved bacon drippings for a couple of minutes or until desired tenderness (asparagus will continue to cook in the oven). Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, add the eggs, 1/2 the bacon, 1/2 the cheddar cheese, cream, parsley, 1/2 the green onions, asparagus, salt, and pepper to preference. Whisk together and pour into prepared pan.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until egg is puffed and set in the middle. If you are using a 9-inch pan it will puff very high but will settle as it cools. Add the remaining cheese for the last couple of minutes of baking to melt. Remove from oven and sprinkle with remaining bacon and green onions. Serve!
Can you freeze the leftovers? Thank you😊
Yes of course
Nice recipe but the 15 minute cook time is laughable. The eggs themselves bake for 15-20 minutes.
Just a heads up…. this does not take 20 minutes. It’s more like an hour.
Thank you for the great recipe!
I did it without the cheese (since I didn’t have any) and added kale (since I had some I needed to use) it came out delicious!
So glad you liked it!
I couldn’t get the directions to print out! Has anyone else had this problem?
It was a bug in the recipe card but is fixed now.
Interested in keto friendly foods!

Hello, This looks great. Do you know how many calories per servine?
The calories are listed at the bottom of the recipe with all the nutritional info.
No they aren’t.
It’s 302 calories per serving!
Am I missing something?
What happened to the asparagus? The last I see it, it says “set aside”.
What am I missing?
It’s added in with all of the ingredients.
No mention of the temperature to bake.
Sorry it’s 350!
why isn’t there a temp setting for this?
Delicious! This is definitely a new favorite at our house! I baked it at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes.
This looks yummy! I generally make my frittata in a cast iron skillet as it can go directly in the oven.
Sounds absolutely delicious. Thank you
Is oven at 350?
