Ingredients
- 1/2 lb asparagus (tough ends trimmed off)
- 1/2 cup shallot chopped
- 2 teaspoons butter salted
- 5 egg large
- 4 egg 1/2 cup, large, whites
- 2 tbsp Pecorino Romano cheese fresh grated
- 3 oz swiss cheese part-skim
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt fresh, to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper fresh, to taste
Instructions
- Steam asparagus crisp and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Thinly slice on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Heat butter in a 10-inch oven safe skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots and saute until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Add steamed asparagus, salt and pepper.
- In a medium bowl whisk eggs, egg whites, grated cheese, salt, and pepper. Add the Swiss cheese and mix well.
- Add eggs to the skillet making sure eggs cover the asparagus. Cook on medium for about 4 minutes, until the edges begin to set.
- Move the skillet to oven. Cook about 16 to 18 minutes, or until frittata is completely cooked.
- Serve hot, cut into 4 equal wedges.
Notes
- *if you prefer you can use whole eggs in place of egg whites
- Make it dairy-free! Violife makes some wonderful dairy-free cheese options!
- Egg Whites: I like to lighten up frittatas by using part egg whites, but you can also use all whole eggs.
- Switch it up! Onions or scallions can be used in place of shallots. Swap the Swiss cheese for whatever you like or have on hand. Mozzarella cheese, Gouda or Havarti are all great options.
