Asparagus Frittata is a light, savory egg dish loaded with tender asparagus and often complemented by cheese and herbs. It’s a healthy, flavorful breakfast or brunch option that’s easy to prepare and satisfying.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 bunch thin asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces (about 2 cups)
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 cup crumbled feta
Directions
- Preheat the broiler. Melt the butter in a 9-inch cast-iron frying pan. Add the onions and saute until they are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook until just softened, 2 minutes.
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl until smooth. Fold in the feta. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus mixture and cook until almost set, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the broiler and cook until golden brown on top, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
