Spring Vegetable Frittata

Recipe, video and photography provided by Heinen’s partner, Chef Billy Parisi.

Few things embody spring quite like a fresh frittata!

Spring Vegetable Frittata

Perfect for brunches, a frittata is an Italian-inspired egg-based dish similar to an omelet or crustless quiche. While a frittata can be enhanced with any combination of meats, cheeses and veggies, the spring season offers an assortment of fresh produce that gives this dish undeniably delicious color and flavor.

Loaded with pancetta, spring onions, wild mushrooms, spinach, potatoes and asparagus, this dish looks and tastes complex and sophisticated, but could not be easier to make.

  • 2 Tbsp. Heinen’s olive oil
  • 2 oz. pancetta
  • ½ sweet onion, peeled and small diced
  • 1 packed cup wild portabella and shiitake mushrooms, sliced

  • Chopped parsley, optional garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, whipping cream, ¾ cup Parmigiano Reggiano, salt and pepper until combined and smooth. Briefly set aside.
  3. In a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
  4. Add the pancetta, onion, mushrooms and potatoes. Sauté for 6-8 minutes, or until lightly brown and tender.
  5. Mix in the spinach and asparagus and sauté for 1 more minute.
