Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound asparagus, ends trimmed
1 3/4 teaspoons coarse salt, divided
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (1 cup)
2 cloves garlic, minced
10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
1 tablespoon salt-packed capers, rinsed and chopped
1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley
2 scallions, finely chopped
1 tablespoon red-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees with rack in middle position.
  • Heat a 10-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. When oil shimmers, add asparagus and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, tossing occasionally, until asparagus is crisp tender and brown in spots, 3-4 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over asparagus and transfer to a plate to cool, reserving skillet.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in skillet over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent, 3 minutes. Add garlic, spinach, pepper, and 1 teaspoon salt and cook 1 minute until spinach is warmed through.
  • Whisk eggs and milk in a medium bowl until thoroughly combined. Pour into skillet and cook, stirring constantly, just until eggs begin to scramble but are still very wet. Remove from heat. Distribute asparagus in a single layer over eggs, pressing them gently into eggs. Transfer to oven, and bake just until frittata is set, 18-20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Combine capers, parsley, scallions, remaining 1 tablespoon oil, vinegar, and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small bowl and serve with frittata.

I love this frittata! It's a great way to use up leftover asparagus and spinach. I also like to add some diced ham or bacon to it for a little extra flavor. It's a great dish for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
