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.
  • Whisk the eggs in a bowl with 1 teaspoon water and a pinch of kosher salt until light and frothy, then pour into the mushroom and spinach mixture. Sprinkle with the green onion and the goat cheese.
  • Cook the eggs undisturbed until the edges begin to pull away from the edge of the pan and begin to set. Gently lift the edges of the egg and tilt the pan so the uncooked egg runs under the cooked part and cook for another minute or so.
  • Transfer the fry pan to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs have puffed and have cooked through.
  • Remove from the oven and sprinkle with more goat cheese if desired. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

SPRINGTIME FRITTATA WITH MORELS & ASPARAGUS



Springtime Frittata with Morels & Asparagus image

At our farm we grow all the things we love! Asparagus is one of those things. We also get to hunt morel mushrooms in the woods on our farm in Spring. It's the season I look forward to the most, though I have to admit Summer tomato season ranks right up there! Morels are a once a year treat and if you have access to them try...

Provided by Amy CooksToo

Categories     Other Main Dishes

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 or more morels sliced in half
1/2 c asparagus sliced in 1/2 inch pieces
1/2 c gold potatoes shredded or diced small
1/2 c sweet onion minced
5-6 medium or large eggs, lightly whisked
1/4 c heavy cream
1 c smoked gouda shredded
You decide butter to sauté

Steps:

  • 1. Set the oven to 350. Heat a well seasoned,12 inch, cast iron pan to hot. Add enough butter to the pan to at least coat the bottom, more if you love butter like I do! Keep the cast iron pan on medium heat. Add the potatoes and stir for a minute or two, so they don't stick. Keep stirring as you add the onions, cook onions to translucent. Turn the heat down a little. Add the morels and asparagus and cook until asparagus are slightly tender (they'll finish in the oven). remove from heat. Remove sautéed veggies to a plate or bowl.
  • 2. In a 4 cup measuring cup (or bowl) place the lightly whipped eggs and whisk in cream. Stir in cheese. Pour this mixture to the cast iron pan. Stir in your sautéed veggies. Place cast iron pan in heated oven. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until eggs are set and top is lightly golden browned, or as browned as desired. Removed from oven, cool slightly and flop frittata out onto a cutting board to slice.
  • 3. Serve immediately; frittata is best warm. Leftovers will keep airtight in the fridge for up to 5 days.
