1/2 pound fresh asparagus
6 large eggs *
4 oz (about 1 cup) grated parmesan *
1/4 tsp sea_salt
1/8 tsp fresh ground black pepper
2 Tbsps extra_virgin_olive_oil *




NOTE: For a firmer frittata, a handful of dry bread crumbs can be added to the egg mixture, about 1/4 cup.



Recipe



Step: 1 Rinse asparagus and remove white end. Cut in 1/2 inch pieces. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook asperagus pieces for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step: 2 In a seperate bowl, beat the eggs, salt, pepper and parmesan.

Step: 3 In a 9 inch wide skillet, at least 2 inches deep, heat the oil over medium heat. Add asperagus and saute for 2 minutes.

Step: 4 Pour egg mixture over asperagus and cook, stirring gently for about 2 minutes. Shake pan to settle the egg mixture.


Step: 5 Cook the frittata until the bottom is golden brown, about 6 minutes. * Flip and cook on the other side until golden.



*To flip easily and without tearing the frittata, place a plate upside down over the pan, place your hand over the plate and turn the whole thing over.Slip the frittata back into the pan to finish cooking.
