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.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I'm looking for something that's easier to make.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my frittata didn't turn out. It was too dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This frittata was a bit too cheesy for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with less cheese and more vegetables.

I had some trouble getting the frittata to cook evenly. The bottom was overcooked, but the top was still runny. I think I'll try cooking it at a lower temperature next time.

This frittata was a bit bland for my taste. I think it would have been better with some more seasoning. I also would have liked the asparagus to be a bit more tender.

I'm not a big fan of asparagus, but I loved this frittata. The asparagus was cooked perfectly, and the cheese and eggs were a great combination. I'll definitely be making this again.

I'm always looking for new ways to cook asparagus, and this frittata is a great option. It's easy to make and packed with flavor. I loved the addition of cheese, and I think it would also be good with some crumbled bacon.
