Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Asparagus
- 100 grams Emmentaler cheese, shredded
- 6 pieces Large eggs
- 60 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash the asparagus and trim off the tough ends. Cut the asparagus spears into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces.
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped asparagus to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes tender but still bright green. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until combined.
Stir in the shredded Emmentaler cheese, the sautéed asparagus, and half of the chopped parsley.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Place the skillet in the preheated oven.
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the frittata is puffed, golden, and set in the center.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with the remaining parsley before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
