Mushroom and Asparagus Frittata with Goat Cheese
This Mushroom and Asparagus Frittata with Goat Cheese combines sautéed brown mushrooms and tender asparagus pieces within a lightly seasoned egg base. Creamy goat cheese added before and after cooking enriches the texture and offers a subtle tang. The frittata is pan-cooked on the stove then briefly broiled to finish, delivering a softly set center with slightly browned top. It serves well warm or at room temperature and can be a simple main or part of a light meal.

Ingredients
- 2 egg
- 1 teaspoon water , (or milk)
- pinch kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon butter , (or Cooking spray)
- 3 brown mushrooms , sliced
- 5 asparagus trimmed and cut into ½-inch pieces, spears
- 1 tablespoon green onion chopped
- 2 tablespoons goat cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven or toaster oven to broil.
- Spray a 7- to 8-inch non-stick fry pan with cooking spray and warm on medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once or twice. Add the asparagus and cook for 1-2 minutes more.
- Whisk the eggs in a bowl with 1 teaspoon water and a pinch of kosher salt until light and frothy, then pour into the mushroom and asparagus mixture. Sprinkle with the green onion and the goat cheese.
- Cook the eggs undisturbed until the edges begin to pull away from the edge of the pan and begin to set. Gently lift the edges of the egg and tilt the pan so the uncooked egg runs under the cooked part and cook for another minute or so.
- Transfer the fry pan to the oven and broil for 2-3 minutes or until the eggs have puffed and have cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with more goat cheese if desired. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes
- This single-serving frittata can stretch to feed two alongside a side salad or fresh fruit.
- Substituting water and cooking spray helps reduce fat content without compromising texture.
- Feel free to use a little butter instead of spray for richer flavor.
