    Asparagus and Cheese Frittata

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe Pin Recipe

    Making a frittata is a good way to use leftovers. A few spears of asparagus, half a baked potato, a little cheese and a few eggs can easily be transformed into a hearty breakfast frittata.

    I used two of my favorite cheeses to pair with eggs, Fontina and Gruyere. They melt beautifully and the nutty flavor really compliments the egg custard.

    Equipment

    • Ovenproof frying pan Cast Iron works best

    Ingredients
      

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • ¼ cup diced shallots
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • 1 pound thin spear asparagus spears cut diagonally into 1-inch lengths
    • ½ baked potato cubed (optional)
    • 6 large eggs
    • 1 tablespoon minced fresh chives
    • 1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese

    Instructions
     

    • Heat butter in a 10-inch oven-proof frying pan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
    • Add asparagus and potato and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Reserve a few spears for the top.
    • Beat the eggs and ¾ of the cheese together, stir in the chives. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and arrange the reserved asparagus spears on top.
    • Cook until almost set, but still runny on top, about 4 to 5 minutes. While cooking, pre-heat broiler.
    • Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the eggs and put under broiler until cheese is melted and browned, and the center is set.
    • Carefully remove pan from oven and slide frittata onto a serving plate. Cut into 4 wedges. Can be served warm or room temperature.

    I am Mary, the blogger behind "Oh That's Good!" I am a former nurse, former hobby farm blogger, former vintage shop owner, and current food blogger. I live with my husband and our little mutt Tucker in a lovely retirement community. I am cooking for two and taking inspiration from old cookbooks, magazines, and memories of watching my mother and grandmother cook. I like reducing my food waste and exorbitant grocery bills! I am busy rewriting my recipes for two servings with the option of adjusting the recipe up to four or six servings with just one click.
