A quick and easy baked egg casserole, or crustless quiche, with bacon, goat cheese, and asparagus!
Asparagus season is here and it’s one of my favourite times of the year! I kicked things off with a simple frittata that’s packed with flavour: asparagus, goat cheese and bacon! A frittata is an egg-based Italian dish similar to an omelette or crustless quiche that can be filled with tasty ingredients! I like to use an egg and cottage cheese for the base and all you really need to do is mix them, along with the other ingredients, pour into a pan and bake! This asparagus, bacon and goat cheese frittata is an amazing spring breakfast/brunch that is so easy to make!

So when does the asparagus get into the dish? And how do you prepare it? Cook, steam?
Can I replace cottage cheese with something else?
