Ingredients
- 1/2 pound fingerling potatoes, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices
- 12 large eggs
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons Simply Organic® Nutritional Yeast
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon Simply Organic® Ground Mustard
- 1 teaspoon Simply Organic® Turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon Simply Organic® Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Simply Organic® Cayenne Pepper
- 3 1/2 ounces Gruyere cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 8 ounces asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup diced ham steak
- 3/4 cup sliced scallions
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Simply Organic® Dill
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh tarragon
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
Directions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium-sized pot, place potatoes. Cover with salted water and bring to a boil. Cook until fork tender, then drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine eggs, milk, nutritional yeast, salt, mustard, turmeric, pepper and cayenne. Whisk until well blended. Stir in cheese and set aside.
- In a 10-inch ovenproof, non-stick skillet over high heat (see recipe tip), heat olive oil. Add potatoes and cook for 5 minutes, until starting to brown. Stir in asparagus, ham and scallions. Cook for 3 minutes, until vegetables start to soften. Reduce heat to low and stir in dill, tarragon and chives.
- Gently add egg mixture to skillet, stirring until ingredients are evenly distributed. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until egg mixture begins to set.
- Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until center of frittata is set. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Run a rubber spatula around edges of frittata to loosen, then slice into pieces and serve.
- If using a cast iron skillet, reduce heat to medium after cooking potatoes, before adding asparagus, ham and scallions.
- For a more formal presentation, place a large plate, serving-side down, over skillet. Then flip skillet and plate over, place serving plate on top of inverted frittata, then flip again so top is right-side up.
