Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 0.25 cups whole milk
- 1 cups Fontina cheese, shredded
- 1 cups asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
- 0.75 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 0.5 yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat the olive oil in a 10- to 12-inch oven-safe, nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 2–3 minutes until it softens, stirring frequently.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Stir in the asparagus pieces and cook for 4–5 minutes until they are tender but still bright green.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes, just until they begin to soften.
Evenly spread the cooked vegetables across the skillet, then reduce the heat to low.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Sprinkle the shredded Fontina cheese evenly over the top.
Cook on the stovetop for 2–3 minutes until the edges of the frittata begin to set.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and the center is set; a knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
Remove the frittata from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
