Are you looking for a wholesome breakfast or brunch option that’s quick to prepare and packed with flavors? A frittata is an excellent choice! This versatile dish is perfect for using up leftover ingredients in your fridge and can be served warm or at room temperature. Today, we’ll make a delightful frittata using Egg Beaters, mushrooms, red onions, ham, bacon bits, spinach and asparagus.

Ingredients

1 cup Egg Beaters (or your preferred egg substitute)
1 cup diced mushrooms
1/2 cup chopped red onions1 cup chopped asparagus (fresh or frozen)
1 cup of baby spinach leaves
1/2 cup diced ham
1/4 cup bacon bits
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil or cooking spray
Optional: shredded cheese for topping

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your frittata cooks evenly and develops a lovely golden-brown top.
Prepare Your Ingredients
In a large skillet, I like to use my Lodge 10″ cast iron skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped red onions and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they become translucent. Next, toss in the diced mushrooms and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, allowing them to release their moisture and begin to brown.

While the mushrooms and onions are cooking, prepare the asparagus. If using fresh asparagus, trim the tough ends and cut them into bite-sized pieces. If using frozen, allow them to thaw and pat dry with a paper towel.

Combine the Ingredients
After the mushrooms and onions are cooked, add the chopped asparagus, diced ham, and bacon bits to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender yet still vibrant. Toss in the spinach and allow to wilt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the Egg Beaters. Season with salt and pepper. Once combined, carefully pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables and meats in the skillet. Gently stir to distribute the ingredients evenly.

Cook on the Stove
Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for about 4-5 minutes, just until the edges start to set. This initial cooking helps to create a solid base before transferring it to the oven.
Bake the Frittata
If you’d like to add cheese, this is the time to sprinkle it over the top of the frittata. Then, transfer your skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the center is firm and the top is slightly golden.
Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Using a spatula, slice it into wedges and serve warm. This frittata pairs beautifully with a fresh salad or a slice of crusty bread.

Conclusion

This frittata is not only easy to make but also customizable. Feel free to substitute or add any of your favorite vegetables, meats, or spices. Whether you’re hosting a brunch or simply enjoying a family breakfast, this savory dish will surely impress your loved ones. With protein-packed Egg Beaters and delicious fillings like mushrooms, red onions, ham, bacon bits, spinach and asparagus, you have a meal that’s hearty and satisfying. Enjoy!
