Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
1 3/4 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon salt-packed capers, rinsed and chopped
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in middle position.
  • Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. When oil shimmers, add asparagus and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing occasionally, until asparagus is crisp tender and brown in spots, 3-4 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over asparagus and transfer to a plate to cool, reserving skillet.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 minutes. Add garlic, spinach, pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt and cook 1 minute until spinach is warmed through.
  • Whisk eggs and milk in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Pour into skillet and cook, stirring constantly, just until eggs begin to scramble but are still very wet. Remove from heat. Distribute asparagus in a single layer over eggs, pressing them gently into eggs. Transfer to oven, and bake just until frittata is set, 18-20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Combine capers, parsley, scallions, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and serve with frittata.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus and spinach. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are thick or woody. Spinach should be deep green and free of any yellow or brown spots.
  • Prep the vegetables properly. Trim the asparagus spears and cut them into 1-inch pieces. Rinse the spinach thoroughly and remove any tough stems.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet. This will help the frittata cook evenly and develop a nice crust.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you're using a 10-inch skillet, you'll need to cook the frittata in batches. Otherwise, the frittata will be too thick and won't cook through properly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
  • Don't flip the frittata too soon. Wait until the bottom is golden brown and the edges are set before you try to flip it. Otherwise, the frittata will break apart.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature. It's also delicious the next day for breakfast or lunch.

Conclusion:

This asparagus and spinach frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's packed with fresh vegetables and protein, and it's a great way to use up leftover asparagus and spinach. With its bright colors and flavors, this frittata is sure to be a hit with everyone at the table.
