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.

Steps:
- Preheat the broiler.
- Warm the oil in a medium (10-inch) nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and cherry tomatoes and saute until warmed through. Add the eggs, stir and let cook until firm around the edges. With a spatula, lift the edges and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked portion of the egg to run into the bare pan beneath the spatula. Add the goat cheese and herbs, stir slightly to incorporate, and continue to cook until the edges of the frittata are firm (the center will still be jiggly).
- Transfer the pan to the broiler and cook until golden brown on top, about 2 minutes. Allow to sit for 2 minutes, then run a knife or a thin spatula around the edge of the frittata. Cut in wedges and serve straight out of the skillet or slide it out of the pan onto a cutting board, cut in wedges and serve.

- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in potatoes, goat cheese, herbs, and scallions. Transfer mixture to prepared dish. Top with asparagus, pressing down to submerge slightly. Sprinkle with Gruyere.

Tips:
- Use fresh, seasonal ingredients. This will ensure that your frittata is packed with flavor and nutrients.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many ingredients, the frittata will be difficult to cook evenly.
- Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help to prevent the bottom from burning.
- Cover the pan while the frittata is cooking. This will help to create a moist and fluffy interior.
- Let the frittata cool slightly before serving. This will make it easier to slice and serve.
