Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus and peas. Look for asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are woody or have brown spots. Peas should be plump and sweet. Avoid peas that are wrinkled or have brown spots.
  • Don't overcook the asparagus and peas. They should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooked asparagus and peas will be mushy and lose their flavor.
  • Use a nonstick skillet. This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Cook the frittata over medium-low heat. This will help it cook evenly and prevent the bottom from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you're using a small skillet, cook the frittata in batches. Overcrowding the skillet will make it difficult for the frittata to cook evenly.
  • Use a spatula to gently lift the edges of the frittata as it cooks. This will help prevent it from sticking to the skillet.
  • When the top of the frittata is set, place it under the broiler for a few minutes to brown the top. Keep a close eye on the frittata so that it doesn't burn.
  • Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help it hold its shape.

Conclusion:

Asparagus pea frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's packed with fresh vegetables and protein, and it's a great way to use up leftover asparagus and peas. Whether you're a seasoned cook or a beginner, this recipe is sure to please everyone at your table.
