Frittata di Asparagi
INGREDIENTS
1 bunch fresh asparagus from Québec, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
6 large eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
PREPARATION
Prepare the Asparagus: Start by preparing the fresh asparagus. Trim off the tough ends and cut the spears into bite-sized pieces.
Beat the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until well beaten. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the Asparagus: Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and sauté them until they are tender but still slightly crisp, about 5-6 minutes.
Add the Eggs: Once the asparagus is cooked, pour the beaten eggs evenly over the top. Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for a few minutes until the edges start to set.
Add Parmesan and Herbs: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley evenly over the top of the frittata.
Finish in the Oven: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the frittata at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden brown.
Serve: Once the frittata is cooked through, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Slice it into wedges and serve warm, either as a main dish or as part of a brunch spread.
