EASY BAKED FRITTATE WITH ASPARAGUS AND ASIAGO



Easy Baked Frittate with Asparagus and Asiago image

A delicious breakfast or light lunch dish, that is also easy to pack and bring to a picnic of a potluck gathering!

Provided by Marilena Leavitt

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 2-3

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 TBSP. olive oil
3-4 oz. young asparagus, trimmed
1 --- green onion, minced
4 lrg. organic eggs
4 TBSP. whole milk or half & half
½ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup Asiago or Fontina cheese, coarsely chopped
1 TBSP. Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (for topping)
1 TBSP. fresh parsley, minced (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375° F.
  • Cut the tough ends of the asparagus spears and discard. Chop the remaining spears into ¼" pieces, reserving six of the tips. You should have about ¾ cup chopped asparagus.
  • In a small skillet, heat two tablespoons of the olive oil and add the asparagus and the green onion. Season with a little salt and cook for just a few minutes to soften the asparagus. Remove from the heat and allow them to cool.
  • Whisk the eggs, milk or cream, and the salt and pepper in a large measuring cup until well blended (this will make the pouring easier).
  • Brush all six cups of a regular muffin tin generously with the remaining olive oil. If you have a non-stick one muffin tin, all the better.
  • Divide the asparagus and onion mixture evenly among the 6 muffin cups. Add the Asiago cheese on top of the vegetables. Next, pour the egg and milk mixture over the filling in each cup as evenly as possible, about two-thirds of the way from the top. Add the asparagus tips to top each muffin.
  • Bake until the egg mixture puffs up and is soft but set in the center, about 15 minutes or so. Do not overcook them (the color of the egg custard should not be brown.)
  • Sprinkle the top with some Parmesan cheese and allow them to sit for a few minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittate from the muffin cups and slide them onto a serving platter. Sprinkle with some fresh parsley and serve immediately.

ASPARAGUS AND HERB FRITTATA



Asparagus and Herb Frittata image

This also makes a beautiful appetizer, cut into diamonds.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 30m

Yield one 10-inch frittata, serving 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pound asparagus, trimmed
8 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons low-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (as above)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (optional)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Steam the asparagus until tender, about 5 minutes. Refresh with cold water, drain and pat dry. Cut into 1/2-inch slices and set aside.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Beat in the milk, salt, pepper, and herbs. Stir in the asparagus and the Parmesan if using.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan every once in a while, until the frittata is just about set. Meanwhile, light the broiler.
  • If the frittata is not quite set on the top, place under the broiler, about 3 inches from the heat, for 1 minute, watching closely, until just beginning to color on the top. Do not allow the eggs to brown too much or they'll taste bitter. Remove from the heat, allow to sit in the pan for 5 minutes or longer, then carefully slide out onto a platter, or cut in wedges in the pan. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Trim the asparagus spears: Cut off the woody ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by snapping off the ends where they naturally break, or by using a knife to cut off about 1 inch from the bottom of the spears.
  • Cook the asparagus properly: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most popular methods are roasting, grilling, and steaming. When roasting or grilling asparagus, be sure to drizzle the spears with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. When steaming asparagus, place the spears in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water and cook until they are tender-crisp.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus: Asparagus should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, but not mushy. Overcooked asparagus will lose its flavor and texture.
  • Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly affect the flavor of your frittata. Be sure to use fresh eggs, good quality cheese, and flavorful ham.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the frittata, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the frittata from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat: Cooking the frittata over medium heat will help to prevent it from burning. A medium heat oven is at 350°F.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving: Once the frittata is cooked, let it cool slightly before serving. This will help to set the frittata and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

Asparagus, ham, and Gruyère frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus. With its simple ingredients and easy-to-follow instructions, this frittata is sure to become a favorite in your home.
