The egg is so versatile.  For my steady readers, you know one of my son’s was home from College.  He has been on a kick to learn to cook.  One of the things he has been learning is to make all preparations of the egg.  In a recent post, he learned how to poach an egg.  So this idea was one of the last of the common preparations – the frittata.
This should have been a great learning experience for him but his Skype rang and it was his girlfriend calling from South Africa. Â Lesson over but all good. Â We will have to try this lesson again on another day.
Recipe
Asparagus Frittata:
Ingredients:
- 9 eggs
- 8 spears of small asparagus
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- 1/3 of a red pepper
- 1/4 of a green pepper
- 1/2 package of mushrooms
- 1/4 of a yellow onion diced
- 1 tsp each smoked paprika, garlic, salt and pepper
- 1/4 cup skim milk
- 1/2 cup of shredded Colby jack cheese
Directions:
Drizzle the asparagus with the olive oil and bake at 400 degrees for approximately 6 minutes. Â I cut the spears in half or so and saved the tops for decorating at the end and diced the ends. Â Meanwhile, in a frittata pan, heat the oil and all the vegetables and spices and cook for 5 minutes. Â I diced 1/4 of the red pepper and left 6 pieces in long slices and separated the slices after cooking. Â Beat the eggs and the milk. Â Add the eggs to the vegetables and cook until it is mostly set. Â Add most of the cheese and the diced asparagus and cook for another minute. Â Top with the remaining cheese, the asparagus spears and the sliced red peppers and move to a 350 degree oven. Â Cook for 3 – 4 minutes. Â Enjoy!
