Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 200 grams asparagus
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Trim the woody ends off the asparagus and cut the stalks into 1-inch pieces. Prepare the onion by chopping it finely, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large ovenproof skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become translucent.
Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
While the vegetables are cooking, in a separate large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Stir in the chopped fresh dill and lemon zest into the egg mixture.
Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Use a spatula to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the eggs.
Allow the frittata to cook on the stovetop for about 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes or until the frittata is fully cooked and the center is set.
Once done, carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
