1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
10 eggs, beaten
1/4 lb feta cheese, crumbled
1/2 red bell pepper, julienned
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or 1 tablespoon unsalted margarine, cut in bits, at room temperature
1/2 cup onion, chopped
6 lemon wedges, for garnish
6 sprigs Italian parsley or 6 sprigs chives, for garnish

  • Stir in 1 Tbs. salt.
  • Add asparagus; arrange in one layer.
  • Cook at a medium boil until slightly underdone, about 3 minutes, depending on thickness.

  • To prepare egg mixture, whisk parsley, water, 1/4 teaspoons salt, and pepper into egg; stir in cheese; reserve.
  • To cook frittata, reserving one whole per serving, cut remaining asparagus at an angle into 1 inch pieces; reserve.
  • In a heavy (or non-stick) oven-proof, 12 inch frying pan (with a cover) sauté bell pepper in olive oil until barely tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir butter into pan.
  • Stir in onion and reserved asparagus pieces; sauté for 1 minute.
  • Pour egg mixture into pan, quickly stirring gently without scraping the bottom of the pan to distribute vegetables.
  • Bake on the middle rack of oven, covered, for 10 minutes.
  • Remove cover; bake until edges are browned, eggs are set, and center is just form to the touch, about 10 minutes.

  • For a crispier frittata, cook it over medium-high heat until the bottom is golden brown, then reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking until the center is set.
  • To make sure the frittata is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the frittata is done.
  • If you don't have a cast-iron skillet, you can use a regular nonstick skillet. Just be sure to preheat the skillet over medium-high heat before adding the egg mixture.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the frittata, such as chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, or grated zucchini.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature. It's also great for breakfast the next day.
