Time 43m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 whole eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco
Splash Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
16 stalks pencil asparagus, stems trimmed off
4 ounces Brie or taleggio cheese, larger parts of rind removed, cut into slices
4 ounces goat cheese, cut into rounds or crumbled into small pieces
2 cups arugula, stemmed, washed and dried
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
2 scallions, sliced into thin rounds (white and green parts)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, washed, dried and halved
1/2 lemon, juiced
Simple green salad, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs. Add the cream, salt, pepper, hot sauce and Worcestershire and whisk to blend.
  • Heat a 10 to 12-inch cast iron (or other heavy-bottomed) skillet and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. When the oil begins to smoke ever so slightly, add the asparagus. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until some of the liquid starts to escape.
  • Stir in the scallions, arugula and cheeses into the egg mixture and pour into the skillet over the asparagus.
  • Place the skillet on the center rack of the oven and cook until firm around the edges but still somewhat loose in the middle, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to "rest" for a few minutes before serving. Toss the tomatoes with salt, pepper, the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice and sprinkle them on top of the frittata just before serving.

I'm giving this recipe 2 stars because it was easy to make. However, the flavor was just okay.

This recipe was a waste of time. The frittata turned out rubbery and tasteless.

I had some trouble getting the frittata to cook evenly. The bottom was overcooked, while the top was still runny.

This frittata was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more vegetables.

I found this recipe to be too bland. I added some extra salt and pepper, and it was much better.

This frittata was a disappointment. The vegetables were bland, and the eggs were overcooked. I won't be making this recipe again.

I'm not usually a big fan of frittatas, but this one changed my mind. The vegetables were perfectly cooked, and the eggs were light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I often make it when I'm short on time, and it always turns out delicious.

I made this frittata for brunch this morning, and it was a big hit! I especially liked the addition of the fresh herbs. They really brightened up the dish.

This frittata was a hit with my family! The kids loved the colorful vegetables, and my husband and I enjoyed the cheesy, eggy flavor. It was a great way to use up some of the fresh vegetables from our garden.

I've made this frittata twice now, and it's quickly become a favorite. It's so easy to make, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The asparagus and peas add a nice pop of color and flavor.

This frittata was an absolute delight! The flavors of the spring vegetables blended perfectly with the eggs, and the texture was light and fluffy. I'll definitely be making this again.
