Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch asparagus, trimmed of tough bottom stems
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon sliced garlic
2 leeks (white and pale green parts), trimmed, halved, and washed very well
1 red onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice
6 extra-large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 450°F.
  • 2. Toss the asparagus with 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the garlic. Spread out the asparagus on a baking sheet.
  • 3. In the same mixing bowl, toss the leeks with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper. Spread out the leeks on a separate baking sheet.
  • 4. Put both baking sheets in the oven and roast the asparagus and leeks for 5 minutes. Remove the vegetables from the oven, turn once, and return to the oven for another 5 minutes, or until nicely browned. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheets.
  • 5. Reduce the oven temperature to 350°F.
  • 6. Chop the asparagus and leeks into 1-inch pieces.
  • 7. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus, leeks, and red onion and cook for 2 minutes.
  • 8. Using a whisk or a fork, beat the eggs and cream with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a bowl until frothy. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus and leeks.
  • 9. Bake the frittata for 10 to 12 minutes, or until it is nicely set but not overly firm. Allow the frittata to stand for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose Fresh Asparagus: Select asparagus spears that are vibrant green, firm, and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are wilted, limp, or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Prepare Asparagus Properly: Wash the asparagus spears thoroughly and trim off the tough ends. If the spears are particularly thick, you can peel the bottom portion to make them more tender.
  • Roast Asparagus to Perfection: Toss the asparagus spears with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until tender-crisp. You can also grill or pan-fry the asparagus if you prefer.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to your frittata, such as diced bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, or spinach. This will add more flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Choose Your Cheese Wisely: The type of cheese you use will significantly impact the flavor of your frittata. Experiment with different cheeses, such as cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, or goat cheese, to find your favorite combination.
  • Cook the Frittata Slowly: Cook the frittata over medium-low heat to ensure that it cooks evenly throughout without burning the bottom. Cover the pan during cooking to help the frittata set and prevent the top from becoming too dry.

Conclusion:

A roasted asparagus frittata is a delicious, versatile, and nutritious dish perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its vibrant colors and flavors, it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this roasted asparagus frittata a try!
