Anytime Asparagus Frittata

A quick and easy recipe to whip up for a savory, protein-rich meal for any occasion or time of day or night. I served this frittata tonight with a mixed lettuce salad with sliced tomato and pickled beets drizzled with a vinaigrette.

Ingredients

2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 large Onion, thinly sliced
1 pound (bunch) of Asparagus with thick stems snapped off, then cut diagonally into 1" lengths
6 large Eggs, beaten
1/3 cup shredded Mozzarella Cheese
1/3 cup shredded White Cheddar Cheese
1/3 shredded Parmesan Cheese
Herbs* and Paprika (optional)

*Cilantro, Italian Herb Blend, etc.

Directions

Preheat broiler.

Drizzle olive oil in to a deep 10"-12" ovenproof frying pan.

Over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, sauté onion rings 

with salt until onion is soft, but not browned.

Reduce the heat to medium-low heat and add the asparagus, 

and cook covered until asparagus is just tender for about 7 minutes.

Pour in the egg mixture and cook for about 3 minutes, 

until the eggs are almost cooked but still a bit runny on top.

Sprinkle the cheeses and paprika over the egg mixture and 

broil for another 4 minutes, until the cheeses are melted 

and slightly browned on top.

Remove from the oven and slide the frittata onto a platter.

Cut into wedges and serve with a fresh salad or selection of fruits.
