Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, 3 tablespoons of the cheese, the milk, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to taste together in a bowl.
- Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and Canadian bacon, and cook until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Reduce heat to low, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently to distribute the fillings evenly. Cover, and cook until the bottom sets, but does not get too brown, about 9 minutes. Remove the cover, scatter the remaining 1 tablespoon of cheese over the surface. Run the frittata under the broiler until the top sets and browns slightly, about 1 minute. Set aside for about 5 minutes before unmolding. Slip the frittata out of the pan onto a cutting board, cut into wedges. Serve warm or room temperature.

Steps:
- Heat olive oil in a 10 inch oven proof pan over medium high heat.
- Add onions and salt, and cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add asparagus, reduce heat and cook, covered until it is barely tender, about 6 minutes.
- Pour in eggs and cook until almost set, but still slightly runny on top, about 3 minutes.
- Sprinkle cheese over eggs and put in oven to broil until cheese is melted and browned, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from oven and slide onto a serving plate; cut into wedges.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have yellow or коричневый tips.
- Cook the asparagus until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus will be mushy and lose its flavor.
- Use a good-quality nonstick skillet. This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and burning.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
- Don't overcook the frittata. The eggs should be set but still slightly runny in the center.
- Season the frittata with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, onion, or cheese, to taste.
- Serve the frittata hot or at room temperature. It is also delicious cold the next day.
Conclusion:
Asparagus frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus. With its simple ingredients and flavorful taste, this frittata is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
