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.

ROASTED ASPARAGUS FRITTATA



Roasted Asparagus Frittata image

Asparagus begs to be roasted; this recipe was developed after roasting a couple pounds and using them in a bunch of different dishes over a few days. This was the favorite, and frankly, the uber-favorite was this in a sandwich. More spring recipes.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     for two, quick, roasts, vegetables, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 to 12 medium to fat asparagus spears, trimmed
Olive oil
Salt and black pepper
4 eggs
1/4 to 1/2 cup chervil, roughly chopped, or parsley
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, optional

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Spread asparagus on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast, shaking the pan occasionally, until the asparagus is lightly charred and tender, about 12 minutes. (You can let the asparagus sit at room temperature for hours, or refrigerate overnight.)
  • Beat the eggs with salt, pepper, half the chervil (and half the cheese, if you like). Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths and arrange in a single layer in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Drizzle with more olive oil and set over medium heat.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus. Use a spatula if necessary to make a round frittata. Cook until nearly set, tilting the pan and lifting the edge of the set egg to let the liquid egg flow underneath, about 4 minutes.
  • When the top is almost dry, flip the frittata onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan. Let cook for just a few seconds, then flip out onto a plate. Alternatively, use an ovenproof pan and put it in the oven or under the broiler for a few minutes.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining chervil (and cheese if you are using it) and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.
