SPRING FRITTATA WITH HAM, ASPARAGUS, AND HERBS



Spring Frittata With Ham, Asparagus, and Herbs image

This comes from a cookbook called "Food to Live By". So far every single recipe I've tried from it has been AMAZING. This one was no exception. I used honey ham deli meat for the ham, egg beaters and soymilk instead of milk.

Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 cup finely sliced leek, white and light green parts
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
4 asparagus spears, woody ends trimmed
1/2 cup ham, cut into 1/3 inch dice
6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons fresh dill, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
salt & fresh ground pepper
1/3 cup parmesan cheese or 1/3 cup romano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • melt butter in an 8 or 9 inch nonstick, ovenproof skillet over low heat. Add the leek and garlic and cook very slowly, stirring frequently, until soft and golden, about 10 minutes, then set skillet aside off the heat.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with water and ice cubes and set aside.
  • Bring a skillet of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus spears and cook until blanched, about 2 minutes. Immediately drain the asparagus in a colander, then plunge into the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain asparagus again.
  • Cut asparagus spears into 1/2 inch pieces. Scatter asparagus and ham over the leek mixture in the skillet.
  • Preheat the broiler and set the rack about 5 inches from the heat source.
  • Place the eggs and milk in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add dill, chives and lemon zest, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the leek mixture and cook, without stirring, over medium-low heat until the bottom and sides have set, about 4 minutes. The top of the frittata will still be wet.
  • Sprinkle the cheese over the frittata and place the skillet under the broiler. Cook until the top puffs and turns golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Remove from the broiler and let it rest for 2 minutes.
  • Run a heat-proof rubber spatula or small knife around the edge of the frittata to release it from the skillet. Slide it onto a serving plate. Cut into 4 wedges and serve hot.

Categories     Egg     Quick & Easy

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

12 large eggs
3 tablespoons half-and-half
Table salt and ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 pound asparagus , trimmed of tough ends, spears cut on the bias into 1/4-inch pieces
1 medium shallot , minced (about 3 tablespoons)
4 ounces deli-style baked ham , 1/4-inch-thick, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 3/4 cup)
3 ounces Gruyère cheese , cut into 1/4-inch cubes (about 3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • 1. 1. Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position, about 5 inches from heating element; heat broiler. Whisk eggs, half-and-half, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in medium bowl until well combined, about 30 seconds. Set eggs aside. 2. 2. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick ovensafe skillet over medium heat until shimmering; add asparagus and cook, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and almost tender, about 3 minutes. Add shallot and ham and cook until shallot softens slightly, about 2 minutes. Stir Gruyère into eggs; add egg mixture to skillet and cook, using spatula to stir and scrape bottom of skillet, until large curds form and spatula begins to leave wake but eggs are still very wet, about 2 minutes. Shake skillet to distribute eggs evenly; cook without stirring for 30 seconds to let bottom set. 3. 3. Slide skillet under broiler and broil until frittata has risen and surface is puffed and spotty brown, 3 to 4 minutes; when cut into with paring knife, eggs should be slightly wet and runny. Remove skillet from oven and let stand 5 minutes to finish cooking; using spatula, loosen frittata from skillet and slide onto platter or cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve.

HAM AND ASPARAGUS FRITTATA



HAM AND ASPARAGUS FRITTATA image

Categories     Egg     Breakfast     Broil

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8-12 fresh asparagus stalks, bottoms trimmed
1/2 yellow onion, chopped
1-1/3 cup button mushroooms
1 cup chopped cooked ham
4 eggs
Salt and freshly ground blk pepper
1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, preheat the broiler. While the water heats, trim the asparagus to fit in a circular pattern in a large skillet (similar to the hands of a clock). Blanch the asparagus in boiling water 2-3 minutes, until just barely tender and bright green. Transfer the asparagus to a colander and run cold water over it. Set aside to drain. Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray and set over a medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot, add the onion and mushrooms and cook until the onions are just tender, about 4 minutes.Add the ham and cook, stirring often, until heated through. While the ham cooks, whisk the eggs and two tbsp of cold water in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to medium, use a wooden spoon to spread the onion, mushrooms and ham evenly across the skillet. Pour the eggs over the vegetables and ham. Tilt the pan to make sure the eggs spread evenly. Cook until the edges of the egg are done and the center begins to bubble, about 4 minutes. The eggs will not be fully cooked at this stage, but will finish under the broiler. Arrange the aspargus spears in a circular pattern on the eggs, then top with the cheese. Place the skillet unter the broiler and cook until the cheese is melted and begins to brown.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips.
  • Trim the asparagus spears. Cut off the tough ends of the spears, about 1 inch from the bottom.
  • Cook the asparagus until tender. You can boil, steam, or roast the asparagus. If boiling, cook for 3-5 minutes, or until tender-crisp. If steaming, cook for 5-7 minutes, or until tender-crisp. If roasting, preheat oven to 425°F and roast for 10-12 minutes, or until tender.
  • Use a good quality ham. A good quality ham will add a lot of flavor to the frittata.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. The eggs should be cooked through, but still slightly runny in the center.
  • Serve the frittata immediately. The frittata is best served hot or warm.
