Steps:
- Bring a medium pot of well-salted water to a boil. Meanwhile, prepare an ice water bath. Blanch asparagus until just tender, about 1 minute. Drain and transfer to ice water bath to cool. Drain. Set spears aside.
- Whisk eggs with 1 tsp each salt and pepper. Stir in scallions, chives, and asparagus stalks.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Heat oil in an ovenproof 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Pour egg mixture into skillet. Cook until edges begin to set; push cooked edges toward the center of the pan with a wooden spoon. Continue cooking until the center begins to set, about 2 minutes more. Dollop goat cheese over top and sprinkle with reserved asparagus spears.
- Bake until eggs are completely set, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly before serving.

ASPARAGUS AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA
When I put these ingredients in my rice cooker, I knew the flavors would complement each other, but I wondered what the dish would look like. It was lovely! The soft, melting goat cheese mingled with the asparagus and creamy eggs. The frittata makes a great light supper or lunch dish; serve it with a fruit salad.

Steps:
- Set a medium rice cooker to the regular cycle or to quick cook if it's a fuzzy-logic machine. Heat the olive oil and sauté the spring onion for 1 minute. Add the asparagus and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the asparagus begins to soften. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and Tabasco. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus and sprinkle with the goat cheese.
- Cover the rice cooker and reset to the regular cycle. The frittata will take 3 to 4 minutes to cook. Allow it to continue steaming, covered, for an additional 6 minutes on the keep-warm setting or with the machine turned off. (Many rice cookers, including all fuzzy-logic machines, do this automatically.) Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your frittata. Look for asparagus that is bright green and firm, and goat cheese that is creamy and tangy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too much asparagus or goat cheese, the frittata will be too thick and won't cook evenly.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help it to cook evenly without burning.
- Don't overcook the frittata. It should be cooked through, but still slightly runny in the center.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing. This will help it to hold its shape.
Conclusion:
Asparagus and goat cheese frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with flavor and is a great way to use up leftover asparagus and goat cheese. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this frittata a try!
