Equipment

Large Bowl
Whisk
10-inch oven-proof skillet
Spatula
Cheese grater

Ingredients

8 large eggs approx. 400g
½ cup heavy cream 120ml
1 tbsp olive oil 15ml
½ pound Italian sausage casing removed, approx. 225g
1 cup asparagus chopped into 1-inch pieces, approx. 134g
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese approx. 50g
½ tsp salt 2.5g
¼ tsp ground black pepper 1g
¼ tsp garlic powder 0.5g
¼ cup chopped fresh basil approx. 6g

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined. Stir in the chopped basil and set aside.
Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook, breaking it apart with a spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the chopped asparagus to the skillet with the sausage and sauté for an additional 2-3 minutes, until slightly tender.
Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and asparagus in the skillet. Let cook without stirring for about 2 minutes until the edges start to set.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the frittata is set and the cheese is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, omit the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese substitute.

Ensure your Italian sausage is keto-friendly, with no added sugars or fillers.

This frittata can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it a perfect make-ahead breakfast or lunch option.

To reheat, simply warm it in the oven or on the stovetop until heated through.
