Asparagus & Canadian Bacon Frittata

We had bought a large bunch of asparagus last week, but never ended up using it, so in trying to find a way to use up the asparagus, I decided to treat myself to a "nice" weekend breakfast on Sunday and made up this frittata. This happens to be my first attempt at a frittata and therefore, there are a few things I'd do differently, but for a frittata beginner I think I did alright.

Asparagus & Canadian Bacon Frittata

3 large eggs
3 egg whites
8-12 slices of canadian bacon, roughly chopped
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1/8 tsp. salt
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/2 cup asparagus, cut into 1/2" pieces
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
2 small red potatoes, sliced thin
1 tsp. Mrs. Dash Table Blend Seasoning

Combine the first 6 ingredients, whisk together and set aside. Saute onion, garlic and asparagus for 3 minutes in a 9" pan, or until tender, remove from pan and set aside. Arrange potato slices in a circle pattern around bottom of pan to form a crust. Let potato cook in pan for about 15 minutes per side until potatoes are cooked through and crisp. Layer asparagus and onion mixture over potato crust. Pour egg mixture on top and cover with lid and cook for 3 minutes, until almost set, sprinkle with Mrs. Dash seasoning. Remove lid and cover handle (or use oven safe pan) and broil in oven for 3 minutes, or until egg has set. Cut into 4 large pieces, or 8 small pieces.

The only thing I'd really change about this recipe is I'd use at least one more egg white, maybe two as the egg mixture was a little flat and barely covered the potato crust. I think adding 1-2 more egg whites would make it a little fluffier and cover more and wouldn't add that many more calories to the dish. I'd also try adding in another vegetable like red or green pepper. I think this recipe could be one of those one's that is easy to mix and match depending on what you have in the refrigerator.
