ROASTED ASPARAGUS FRITTATA



Roasted Asparagus Frittata image

Asparagus begs to be roasted; this recipe was developed after roasting a couple pounds and using them in a bunch of different dishes over a few days. This was the favorite, and frankly, the uber-favorite was this in a sandwich. More spring recipes.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     for two, quick, roasts, vegetables, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 to 12 medium to fat asparagus spears, trimmed
Olive oil
Salt and black pepper
4 eggs
1/4 to 1/2 cup chervil, roughly chopped, or parsley
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, optional

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 450 degrees. Spread asparagus on a baking sheet and toss with olive oil, salt and pepper. Roast, shaking the pan occasionally, until the asparagus is lightly charred and tender, about 12 minutes. (You can let the asparagus sit at room temperature for hours, or refrigerate overnight.)
  • Beat the eggs with salt, pepper, half the chervil (and half the cheese, if you like). Cut the asparagus into 2-inch lengths and arrange in a single layer in a 10-inch nonstick skillet. Drizzle with more olive oil and set over medium heat.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus. Use a spatula if necessary to make a round frittata. Cook until nearly set, tilting the pan and lifting the edge of the set egg to let the liquid egg flow underneath, about 4 minutes.
  • When the top is almost dry, flip the frittata onto a plate, then slide it back into the pan. Let cook for just a few seconds, then flip out onto a plate. Alternatively, use an ovenproof pan and put it in the oven or under the broiler for a few minutes.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining chervil (and cheese if you are using it) and serve hot, warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender asparagus and yellow peppers. Look for asparagus that is bright green and has tightly closed tips. Avoid any asparagus that is wilted or has brown spots. Yellow peppers should be firm and have a deep yellow color.
  • Use a nonstick skillet or baking dish. This will help to prevent the frittata from sticking and will make it easier to flip.
  • Cook the asparagus and yellow peppers until they are tender but still have a little bit of crunch. You don't want them to be mushy.
  • Use a whisk to beat the eggs and milk together until they are well combined. This will help to create a smooth, even custard.
  • Season the frittata with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Bake the frittata in a preheated oven until it is set and the top is golden brown. This will usually take about 25-30 minutes.
  • Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep it from falling apart.

Conclusion:

This baked asparagus and yellow pepper frittata is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast, lunch, or dinner recipe. It is packed with fresh vegetables and is a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. The frittata is also a great option for meal prep, as it can be made ahead of time and reheated later.
