Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven (if finishing in oven)
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) if you prefer to finish the frittata in the oven.
  2. Whisk the Eggs
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
  3. Sauté the Vegetables
    • Heat the olive oil and butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender. Add the green onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the Herbs
    • Stir in the parsley, chives, and any optional herbs. Cook for 1 minute to release their aroma.
  5. Cook the Frittata
    • Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the vegetables. Tilt the skillet to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, until the edges start to set but the center remains slightly runny.
  6. Finish in the Oven or Stovetop
    • If using the oven, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top.
    • If finishing on the stovetop, cover the skillet and cook on low heat for an additional 5 minutes, until the frittata is cooked through.
  7. Serve
    • Let the frittata cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
