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.

SPRING FRITTATA WITH HAM, ASPARAGUS, AND HERBS



Spring Frittata With Ham, Asparagus, and Herbs image

This comes from a cookbook called "Food to Live By". So far every single recipe I've tried from it has been AMAZING. This one was no exception. I used honey ham deli meat for the ham, egg beaters and soymilk instead of milk.

Provided by PBShakes

Categories     Breakfast

Time 25m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 cup finely sliced leek, white and light green parts
1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
4 asparagus spears, woody ends trimmed
1/2 cup ham, cut into 1/3 inch dice
6 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 teaspoons fresh dill, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
salt & fresh ground pepper
1/3 cup parmesan cheese or 1/3 cup romano cheese, grated

Steps:

  • melt butter in an 8 or 9 inch nonstick, ovenproof skillet over low heat. Add the leek and garlic and cook very slowly, stirring frequently, until soft and golden, about 10 minutes, then set skillet aside off the heat.
  • Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with water and ice cubes and set aside.
  • Bring a skillet of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the asparagus spears and cook until blanched, about 2 minutes. Immediately drain the asparagus in a colander, then plunge into the bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain asparagus again.
  • Cut asparagus spears into 1/2 inch pieces. Scatter asparagus and ham over the leek mixture in the skillet.
  • Preheat the broiler and set the rack about 5 inches from the heat source.
  • Place the eggs and milk in a medium bowl and whisk to combine. Add dill, chives and lemon zest, then season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the egg mixture to the skillet with the leek mixture and cook, without stirring, over medium-low heat until the bottom and sides have set, about 4 minutes. The top of the frittata will still be wet.
  • Sprinkle the cheese over the frittata and place the skillet under the broiler. Cook until the top puffs and turns golden brown, 3-5 minutes. Remove from the broiler and let it rest for 2 minutes.
  • Run a heat-proof rubber spatula or small knife around the edge of the frittata to release it from the skillet. Slide it onto a serving plate. Cut into 4 wedges and serve hot.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

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.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, seasonal ingredients. This will ensure that your frittata is bursting with flavor.
  • Don't overcook the eggs. The frittata should be cooked through, but still slightly runny in the center.
  • Be creative with your fillings. You can use any combination of vegetables, meats, and cheeses that you like.
  • Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature. It's also great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Conclusion:

A spring frittata is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this spring frittata a try. You won't be disappointed!
