Instructions

  • Whisk together the egg, yogurt, half the shredded mozzarella cheese and salt & pepper; set mixture aside.
  • Heat olive oil in an oven safe pan or cast iron pan. Add onions, mushrooms and asparagus and cook for 3-5 minutes until the vegetables soften.
  • Pour the egg mixture on top of the cooked vegetables. Place sliced cherry tomatoes on top and add the remaining cheese.
  • Bake uncovered in the preheated oven until the center is set, and not jiggly, about 10-15 minutes

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 3 days in the fridge.
Freezing Instructions: You can also freeze the frittata for up to 3 months. To re-heat, thaw in the fridge overnight and bake in a 350°F oven until heated through. I would avoid reheating in the microwave though because it may let out too much moisture from the vegetables and have a rubbery texture. 
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
  • Yogurt is totally optional. Instead of yogurt, you can use ricotta or sour cream for a more rich texture. You can also use regular milk, or plant based milk.
  • You can substitute the vegetables for any others.
  • Feel free to replace the cheese with any other you'd like.
Serving Size: One serving is about 1 1/2 eggs plus the vegetables I use.
