Spring is almost here, which means asparagus and artichokes will be making an appearance, and what better way to use them than in this lovely Spring Frittata with Seeded Avocado?! It’s one of my favorites seasonal breakfast  dishes.

WHAT IS A FRITTATA?

Basically, it’s like an omelette and a quiche got busy and made a tender little breakfast baby. If that isn’t clear enough for you, you start a frittata on the stove (like an omelette) and finish it in the oven (like a quiche)! The beauty of the frittata is that you can pretty much use whatever veggies you have on hand. For this spring version, we use caramelized shallots, asparagus spears, and artichoke hearts. And if you love some extra creaminess you can toss in some feta, gruyere or parmesan.

THAT SEEDED AVOCADO:

To garnish with a seeded avocado, simply peel half an avocado, brush with a little olive or avocado oil, gently press into chia and/or sunflower seeds, slice and eat! You can make this cozy meal in two small pans or one medium size pan for sharing. Learn to slice an avocado like a pro here.

DON’T WASTE THE EXTRA ARTICHOKE HEARTS!

You will have leftovers, please don’t waste them! Make this dipping sauce or this Paella!

 

THE RECIPE: SPRING FRITTATA WITH SEEDED AVOCADO

Tips and what you need: I offer this recipe with a Paleo/Whole30 and Keto option. You can use two small skillets, or one medium sized skillet. A good knife is always a must, and for this recipe I love pink Himalayan sea salt.

  • 1-2 tablespoons  olive oil butter or ghee
  • 1 large shallot peeled and sliced
  • 8 asparagus spears trimmed and cut into 2" pieces
  • 6 artichoke hearts packed in water (drained of water and chopped)

Add eggs to pan(s), evenly covering vegetables, cover with lid, turn heat to low and cook for two minutes. Transfer pan(s) to oven and cook for 3-4 minutes or just until the center of eggs is set.
