ASPARAGUS FRITTATA WITH BURRATA AND HERB PESTO
Frittata, the savory Italian egg dish, can be thick or thin, flipped in the pan or finished under the broiler. This one, slathered with creamy burrata and drizzled with herb-laden oil, is a rather deluxe version of the ideal, worthy of a weekend lunch or a late dinner.

Steps:
- Rinse asparagus, and pat dry. Cut into 1-inch pieces on the diagonal, or into julienne strips if preferred. Set aside.
- In blender or small food processor, purée olive oil, basil and parsley to make a thin pesto. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put a 10-inch cast-iron skillet or other nonstick omelet pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add butter and swirl to coat pan, then add asparagus. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring for about a minute without browning.
- Quickly pour in eggs and stir with a wooden spoon, as if making scrambled eggs. Tilt pan and lift mixture at the edges to allow any runny egg from the top to make its way to the bottom. After 3 or 4 minutes, the frittata should be mostly set. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
- Lay a lid over the skillet, and turn off the heat. Leave for a minute or so, until frittata is moist and just done. (Alternatively, place pan under a hot broiler for a minute or so.)
- Set whole burrata in the center of frittata. Drizzle with herb pesto. Pierce burrata with tip of a knife and spoon contents over frittata. Cut frittata into wedges and serve directly from pan, garnished with basil leaves.

Tips
- For a fluffier frittata, separate the eggs before whisking. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form and then gently fold them into the egg yolk mixture. - Cook the frittata over low heat to prevent it from browning too quickly. Cover the pan with a lid to help the frittata cook evenly. - Once the frittata is cooked through, remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the frittata to set and make it easier to slice. - Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. - To make a vegetarian frittata, omit the bacon and use a vegetable of your choice instead, such as spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini. - For a gluten-free frittata, use gluten-free bread or breadcrumbs. - To make a dairy-free frittata, use a dairy-free milk and cheese.Conclusion
