Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons fine dry breadcrumbs
1 pound thin asparagus
1 ½ teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 onions, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt, divided
½ cup water
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
4 large eggs
2 large egg whites
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese

Steps:

  • Whisk eggs and egg whites in a large bowl. Add ricotta, parsley, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper; whisk to blend. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, gently shaking the pan to distribute. Scatter the reserved asparagus tips over the top and sprinkle with Gruyere.

DH and I have never eaten, let alone made, a Frittata. "Healthy Life Magazine: Greater Binghamton, NY's Source for Family Health" is a free quarterly found in doctors' offices, grocery stores, etc. The Spring, 2009 issue carried this recipe. DH and I decided to finally take the plunge and were quite pleased with the outcome/taste. He's more of a veggie human than me, but we both love cheese; so, this satisfied both of us.

FRITTATA WITH ASPARAGUS, GOAT CHEESE, AND HERBS



Frittata with Asparagus, Goat Cheese, and Herbs image

Serve this vegetarian egg dish any time of day -- just add salad and crusty bread to complete the meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 bunch asparagus (8 oz), trimmed, spears cut into 2-inch pieces, remaining stalks cut into 1/2-inch pieces
Coarse salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 large eggs
4 scallions, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons minced chives
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 tablespoons (2 oz) goat cheese

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right asparagus. Look for spears that are bright green and have tight, closed tips. Avoid spears that are woody or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Cook the asparagus properly. Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, but the most common methods are boiling, steaming, and roasting. Be careful not to overcook the asparagus, as it should still be slightly crisp.
  • Use a good quality cheese. The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your frittata. Choose a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Parmesan.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeaten eggs will make your frittata tough. Simply whisk the eggs until they are combined.
  • Cook the frittata over low heat. This will help to prevent the frittata from burning and will allow it to cook evenly throughout.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing. This will help to keep the frittata from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Asparagus cheese frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover asparagus. So next time you have some asparagus on hand, be sure to give this recipe a try!
