Foodie Friday: Asparagus Frittata


I hope everyone had a great, food-filled week. I needed a fast entree and remembered the frittata! It's fast, simple, and filling. I used a Food Network Recipe. It was a little flat, not as poofy, and but looks are deceiving. It was delicious.

I've been pondering this question all week: When I'm too busy too cook, why do I always have time to eat? :-)
If you're new to Foodie Friday, here's a TUTORIAL.If you are participating in this week's recipe exchange, please add your recipe and permalink here:

Hi Michael Lee ~
Frittata's are amazingly fabulous meals ...
My mother made them all the time. My father just loves them and has her recipe down perfectly.

He makes them pancake size and freezes them for "those days" when he doesn't want to cook. I took his advice and always keep a half a dozen in the freezer. What a time / life saver they have become.

Asparagus are our favorites!
I hope your week began gently.

Oh, that looks delicious. The perfect food for this weather. We're actually chilly here tonight.

I wish I could help with the fluffiness issue, but I'm clueless.

Hope all is well and that the writing is going great for you. Hope you got your book jacket nailed down, too!

XO,

Sheila :-)

Have no idea of what could have gone wrong but it looks scrumptious! I saw asparagus and then frittata and clicked on it immediately!!
Just purchased a jar of pickled asparagus to use in my Bloody Mary's and I have a new favorite now...

Jennifer@Pieces of Me said...

Lisa said...

I know you’re working two jobs right now and I really appreciate the time you take to update this blog and post Foodie Friday every week. Also, this frittata looks delicious. Yumm

Jessa Irene (Holiday-Haven) said...

It looks fine to me! Pretty with the asparagus. Thanks for passing along the recipe.

Kathleen said...

Mine do come out fluffier, but if you look at the pic in their recipe it looks just like yours, so I guess that's how it was supposed to come out! As long as it tasted good!

Pattie @ Olla-Podrida said...

It almost looks as though the pan you used was too big. Maybe it's the recipe (that's always what I tell myself when something goes awry -- it's THE RECIPE!). I'm sure it was delicious.

Michael Lee West said...

Pattie, the pan was too big. Thanks. I think Santa needs to bring more cookware. :-)

Kathleen said...

ML, you could always enter a blog give away for some new pans! :)

Hi,
This is the first time I am participating in Foodie Friday. I posted my recipe twice becaause the first time I did something wrong and it did not link back to my recipe. Could you please delete the one that says "Bean and Escarole Soup at Chicory Nits"? The second on is correct. Sorry. I love your blog! I live in NY and I love being in Manhattan as well. Thanks for this great party.
Carey

Looks delicious!

SavoringTime in the Kitchen said...

I hope Santa brings you the right pan :) Even if a wee bit skinny, your frittata looks delicious! And who doesn't like skinny?

bj said...

I love anything such as this to keep frozen for "company"....this looks amazing.

Rita May said...

That's something I will try for sure.
Thanks!
Rita

Fritattas are a staple at my house -- we absoluetly love them! Aparagus fritatta is my favorite kind.

Good luck with your book revisions!

Alea said...

Your fritatta looks both lovely and delicious! I really enjoy asparagus in fritattas.

Janet Marie said...

Mmm...asparagus and eggs!

Frittatas are one of my favorite things 24-7. Thanks for having all of us over!

lostpastremembered said...

I'm with everyone on this... love asparagus frittata... easy (and after my last post I love easy) and so delicious!

Mary said...

I think you just lifted a weight off my shoulders. An asparagus frittata will be much easier than the chicken parmesan I was planning for tonight's dinner. Thank you! :)

Jen (Mama Schell) said...

That sounds wonderful! First time "linker"! Thanks for hosting!

I'm going to have to try this! It looks sooo good!

Katie @ This Chick Cooks said...

Thanks for hosting the recipe swap. Your frittata looks delicious!

Shannon said...

Sounds yummy! I make my scrambled eggs poufy with the addition of a little water. Maybe that would work for the frittata?

Lady Katherine said...

I have to say I never had one, but how wonderful it looks! Just might have to give it a try!

Lyndsay said...

Actually, it looks amazing. I love food like this.

And I seem to have the same problem with eating. Just because I don't have time to cook, food still seems to magically appear ;)

Happy Friday!

Lyndsay said...

ps... I LOVE your blog!!!!!

Susan (Between Naps on the Porch) said...

Michael...this looks delicious! When you find the answer to that question...please share it because I've noticed the same thing about me. LOL :)

vickdn said...

I linked up to Foodie Friday with my pork chop and bbq pineapple baked beans recipe. Thanks for hosting!

Camille said...

Yes, your pictures are fabulous, I want to make it all! Thanks for hosting!

lulumusing said...

I'm beginning to wonder how we're ever going to prepare all these wonderful things to eat!

Elizabeth said...

That frittata looks pretty delish to me! Thanks for hosting!

gfe--gluten free easily said...

That frittata looks great, Michael! How exciting about your new book coming out, especially with that rave review from Janet Evanovich on the cover--wow! :-)

I linked up No Roll, Never Fail, Press-In Pie Crust. It can be made gluten-free or gluten-full, so to speak. ;-)

Hugs,
Shirley

Teresa said...

That frittata looks good to me. Kinda making me hungry.

Mrs. Montemayor said...

A fast and easy Food Network recipe?!? That's great!

Thanks for sharing...Looks YUMMY! :)
