Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces creme fraiche (about 1 cup)
1/4 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, chives, tarragon, and mint
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon zest
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Unsalted butter, room temperature, for baking dish
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
12 ounces asparagus, trimmed
2 medium russet potatoes (1 pound), peeled and cut into 3/4-inch cubes
12 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
6 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup chopped mixed fresh herbs, such as parsley, dill, chives, tarragon, and mint
6 scallions, white and light-green parts only, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
3/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese (2 1/2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Herbed Creme Fraiche:In a small bowl, stir together creme fraiche, herbs, and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate, covered, up to 3 hours.
  • Frittata:Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a shallow 2-quart baking dish.
  • Prepare an ice-water bath. Bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Using tongs, transfer to ice-water bath. Let cool; drain and pat dry.
  • Add potatoes to saucepan with water (if necessary, add more water to cover potatoes by at least 1 inch). Return to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife, 5 to 6 minutes; drain.
  • 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.
  • Bake 30 minutes, rotating dish halfway through. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees and continue baking until golden brown, puffed, and just set in center, 10 minutes more (if browning too quickly, tent with foil). Serve warm or at room temperature, with herbed creme fraiche.

HERBY GREENS AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 eggs
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
Pinch red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes
2 cups finely chopped leafy greens (Swiss chard, collards, mustard or kale)
4 ounces fresh goat cheese, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Whisk together the eggs, rosemary, red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in a bowl.
  • Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet. Add the onions and tomatoes, and saute until the onions are soft and the tomatoes are starting to burst, about 5 minutes. Add the greens, 1/2 teaspoon salt and some pepper; saute for another 2 minutes.
  • Turn down the heat to low and pour in the eggs. Using a rubber spatula, very gently move the eggs around a bit -- not scrambling them, just massaging them into the cracks and crevasses of the greens.
  • Once the eggs start to set on the bottom, dollop with the goat cheese and transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake until the frittata is set on top, 5 minutes.

Mushroom and Asparagus Frittata with Goat Cheese image

Frittatas are usually shared, but this two-egg, single-serving asparagus frittata recipe is the perfect way to enjoy a healthy breakfast idea for one.

Provided by Heidi

Categories     Breakfast

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 eggs
1 teaspoon water (, (or milk))
pinch of kosher salt
1 tablespoon butter (, (or Cooking spray))
3 brown mushrooms (, sliced)
5 asparagus spears (, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 tablespoon chopped green onion
2 tablespoons goat cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven or toaster oven to broil.
  • Spray a 7- to 8-inch non-stick fry pan with cooking spray and warm on medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once or twice. Add the asparagus and cook for 1-2 minutes more.

  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with more goat cheese if desired. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

ASPARAGUS AND GOAT CHEESE FRITTATA



Asparagus and Goat Cheese Frittata image

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.

Yield Serves 2-3

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp spring onion or green onion, white part only, finely chopped
1/2 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-in/12-mm pieces
4 large eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Tabasco sauce
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

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.

ASPARAGUS AND HERB FRITTATA



Asparagus and Herb Frittata image

This also makes a beautiful appetizer, cut into diamonds.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 30m

Yield one 10-inch frittata, serving 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

3/4 pound asparagus, trimmed
8 extra-large eggs
2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons low-fat milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs (as above)
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan (optional)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Steam the asparagus until tender, about 5 minutes. Refresh with cold water, drain and pat dry. Cut into 1/2-inch slices and set aside.
  • Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Beat in the milk, salt, pepper, and herbs. Stir in the asparagus and the Parmesan if using.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a 10-inch heavy nonstick skillet. Hold your hand above it; it should feel hot. Drop a bit of egg into the pan and if it sizzles and cooks at once, the pan is ready. Pour in the egg mixture. Swirl the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, tilting it slightly with one hand while lifting up the edges of the frittata with the spatula in your other hand, to let the eggs run underneath during the first few minutes of cooking. Turn the heat down to low and cover the pan. Cook 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the pan every once in a while, until the frittata is just about set. Meanwhile, light the broiler.
  • If the frittata is not quite set on the top, place under the broiler, about 3 inches from the heat, for 1 minute, watching closely, until just beginning to color on the top. Do not allow the eggs to brown too much or they'll taste bitter. Remove from the heat, allow to sit in the pan for 5 minutes or longer, then carefully slide out onto a platter, or cut in wedges in the pan. Serve warm, room temperature, or cold.

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 asparagus spears that are bright green and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus properly. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus spears. You can do this by bending the spear until it snaps naturally.
  • Cook the asparagus until it is tender-crisp. You can do this by sautéing, roasting, or grilling the asparagus. Just be careful not to overcook it, or it will become mushy.
  • Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your frittata the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the frittata tough. Just stir the ingredients together until they are combined.
  • Cook the frittata over medium heat. This will help to prevent the frittata from burning. You can also cook the frittata in a preheated oven. If cooking the frittata in the oven, set oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 25-30 minutes.
  • Let the frittata cool slightly before serving. This will help the frittata to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

A frittata with asparagus, goat cheese, and herbs is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a frittata that is packed with flavor and nutrition. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this frittata a try. You won't be disappointed.
