Ingredients

  • 6 large plum tomatoes
  • 1 (12 oz.) pkg. bacon slices
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, pressed
  • 2 cups (1/2 inch) fresh asparagus pieces
  • 10 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/2 tsp. seasoned salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cups (8 oz.) shredded mild Cheddar cheese, divided

Directions

  1. Cut tomatoes into thin slices. Drain tomatoes well, pressing between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture; set aside.
  2. Cook bacon in a 12-inch oven-proof skillet until crisp; remove bacon, reserving 1 Tbsp. drippings in skillet. Crumble bacon, and set aside.
  3. Sauté onion and garlic in reserved but drippings 4 to 5 minutes or until tender. Add asparagus, and sauté 1 minute.
  4. Beat eggs, salt, and pepper at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until foamy; stir in sour cream. Pour over vegetables in skillet. Reserve 1/4 cup bacon; stir in remaining bacon, parsley and 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
  5. Cook over medium-low heat 3 to 4 minutes or until eggs begin to set around edges.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. Remove from oven; top with tomato slices, reserved 1/4 cup bacon, and remaining 1 cup cheese. Bake 10 to 15 more minutes or until frittata appears to be set.
