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.

This frittata was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more salt and pepper next time. The asparagus and leeks were cooked well, but the eggs were a bit overcooked.

I've made this frittata several times and it's always a hit. It's a great way to use up leftover asparagus and leeks. I usually add a bit of cheese to the top before baking and it always comes out perfect.
