Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams asparagus
- 6 eggs
- 60 ml whole milk
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 50 grams grated mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the asparagus and trim off the woody ends. Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the asparagus is tender and bright green. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and remaining black pepper until well combined.
Stir in the grated Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, reserving a small amount of Parmesan for the top.
Add the cooked asparagus and chopped parsley into the egg mixture and stir until evenly combined.
Pour the egg and asparagus mixture into a lightly greased 9-inch ovenproof skillet or a baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is just set.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
