Ingredients

Serves 4–6

2 teaspoons fennel seeds

1/2 pound ground pork

3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided

1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more

3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided, plus more

1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced

2 garlic cloves, finely chopped

4 ounces asparagus (about 4 medium spears), trimmed and cut diagonally into 1-inch pieces

8 large eggs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan

3 tablespoons heavy cream

1/4 cup beet green pesto (see headnote) or 1 tablespoon finely chopped herbs plus 2 tablespoons olive oil

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Heat a 10" ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add fennel seeds and toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add pork, 1 tsp. oil, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper and cook, breaking up pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Scrape pork mixture into a medium bowl.
Step 2
Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over medium. Add onion, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and bright green, 3–5 minutes more. Add vegetable mixture to pork mixture, stir to combine, and let cool slightly. Wipe out skillet and reserve.
Step 3
Meanwhile, whisk eggs, Parmesan, cream, 3/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a large bowl. Add pork and vegetable mixture and stir until well combined.
Step 4
Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in reserved skillet over medium. Add egg mixture and cook, without stirring, until edges have started to set and pull away from pan, about 7 minutes. Transfer frittata to oven and bake until set, 10–12 minutes.
Step 5
Season with salt and pepper, cut into wedges, and drizzle with leftover beet green pesto, if using, or herbed oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This frittata was lovely. I also highly enjoyed the beet green pesto. I pureed the asparagus because that stuff is too tough for my octogenarian grandma to eat... and it turned out pretty good. Yum.

Good. I used a lot more asparagus than the recipe called for, a dozen spears or more, and I would not use less.

I found this recipe in the "68$ Dinner Story" . This was my first frittata and it turned out great! My husband loved it. Because there are only 2 of us, we had this for lunch and dinner for two days. This tasty comfort food is definitely a recipe I will make at least 2-3 times a month. I did substitute sliced beef sausage, for the pork and omitted the fennel.

This was delicious! I was lucky enough to have sausage made from the half pig we have in our freezer, and our own fresh free range eggs and onions harvested from the garden, but it would be good with quality grocery ingredients. I served it for a small ladies' lunch, and everyone loved it. And it's quick and easy! The beet green pesto is worth the extra effort, and so good we saved the extra and used it for another couple of meals.

Delicious frittata. I used chicken spinach sausage because that's what I had in my grocery bag. I loved the fennel.

Great taste, added a little Tabasco on the plate. Made with Italian sausage (no ground pork available) probably a little stronger taste than the ham but still loved it, added a little extra asparagus too 3.5 stars
