Cucumber Melon White Balsamic
Potato, Bacon and Asparagus Frittata
Simple, hearty, and endlessly adaptable, this frittata is the kind of recipe that works just as beautifully for brunch as it does for an easy dinner. Golden potatoes, fresh asparagus, smoky bacon or ham, and melted Gruyère come together with your favourite Della Terra Olive Oil for a dish that feels comforting without being heavy.
Tuscan Herb, Gremolata, or Herbes de Provence Olive Oil all bring something deliciously different to the table, making this one of those recipes you’ll come back to again and again.
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 25–30 minutes
Makes: 6–8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
