This fennel-spiced pork and asparagus frittata is a clever twist on a classic egg dish, offering a sophisticated flavour profile that is perfect for any meal. The combination of aromatic toasted fennel seeds and savoury minced pork provides a satisfying base, while the fresh, diagonal-cut asparagus adds a vibrant crunch. It is a wonderfully versatile option that works just as well for a weekend brunch as it does for a quick, nutritious midweek supper.
As a diabetes-friendly recipe, this frittata is naturally high in protein and low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent choice for those mindful of blood sugar levels. The addition of Parmesan and a touch of double cream ensures a rich, silky texture without being overly heavy. Serve it warm from the frying pan or enjoyed at room temperature with a simple side salad for a balanced, wholesome meal.

How to make Frittata with Fennel-Spiced Pork and Asparagus
Tillbaka till innehållPreheat oven to 177°C. Heat a 10" ovenproof skillet over medium-high. Add fennel seeds and toast, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add pork, 1 teaspoon oil, 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper and cook, breaking up pieces with a wooden spoon or spatula, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes more. Scrape pork mixture into a medium bowl.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in same skillet over medium. Add onion, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender and bright green, 3–5 minutes more. Add vegetable mixture to pork mixture, stir to combine, and let cool slightly. Wipe out skillet and reserve.
Meanwhile, whisk eggs, Parmesan, cream, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper in a large bowl. Add pork and vegetable mixture and stir until well combined.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in reserved skillet over medium. Add egg mixture and cook, without stirring, until edges have started to set and pull away from pan, about 7 minutes. Transfer frittata to oven and bake until set, 10–12 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper, cut into wedges, and drizzle with leftover beet green pesto, if using, or herbed oil. Serve warm or at room temperature.
