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.

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.

I've never made a frittata before, but this recipe was so easy to follow. It turned out so well that I'm definitely going to make it again.

I'm not a fan of asparagus, but I loved this frittata! The eggs were so fluffy and the cheese was melted and gooey.

This frittata is perfect for a brunch party. I made it ahead of time and it was still delicious the next day.

I'm allergic to eggs, so I made this frittata with egg whites and it turned out great! I'm so glad I found this recipe.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add some of my own personal touches. I usually add some chopped spinach and feta cheese.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my frittata didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This frittata was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.

I've made this frittata several times and it always turns out great. It's a great way to use up leftover asparagus.

This frittata was a hit with my family! The asparagus was roasted to perfection and the eggs were fluffy and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
