ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOM FRITTATA
This is one of my favorites. The most important thing (I think) is to cook it slowly so the eggs stay tender.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Melt butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Stir in olive oil and asparagus, and cook until the asparagus is tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the mushrooms, and continue cooking about 5 minutes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, water, and thyme. Pour into the skillet, and reduce heat to low. Cover, and cook 5 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake 10 to 15 minutes, until eggs are no longer runny. Top the mixture with Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese. Turn on the broiler, and broil until cheeses are melted and lightly browned.

Steps:
- In a large skillet with an ovenproof handle, heat 1 tablespoons each of the butter and olive oil over high heat; cook the mushrooms and garlic, stirring often, for about 2 minutes or until the mushrooms are softened.
- With a slotted spoon, remove to a bowl and set aside.
- Drain the liquid from the skillet; heat the remaining butter and olive oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the pan.
- Combine the eggs, parsley and pepper; pour into the skillet.
- Cover and cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until the top is almost set.
- Sprinkle with the mushroom mixture; arrange the asparagus like wheel spokes on top.
- Sprinkle with the mozzarella, then with the Parmesan.
- Broil until the cheese melts and is lightly browned.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: Use fresh asparagus and mushrooms for the best flavor and texture. Look for asparagus spears that are firm and green, with tightly closed tips. Choose mushrooms that are plump and have a fresh, earthy smell.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the asparagus and mushrooms, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing.
- Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The eggs in the frittata should be cooked until they are just set, but not overcooked. Overcooked eggs will be tough and rubbery.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing: This will help it hold its shape when you cut it.
Conclusion:
Asparagus and mushroom frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is packed with fresh vegetables and protein, and it can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect frittata every time.
