This simple frittata is bursting with fresh flavors from smoky, roasted asparagus and creamy, tangy goat cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch asparagus (cut into 2-inch pieces)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk (any type)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 3 ounces goat cheese (or feta)

Directions

  1. 1

    Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.

  2. 2

    Toss asparagus with olive oil and a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. Lay in even layer on baking sheet and roast for 10-15 minutes or until slightly charred.

  3. 3

    Remove asparagus from the oven and set aside to cool slightly. (Leave oven at 400 degrees.) Cut into bite-sized pieces and set aside, leaving a few whole if you wish to "decorate" the frittata before baking.

  4. 4

    Whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.

  5. 5

    Pre-heat large non-stick, oven-safe pan over medium heat and add chopped asparagus to the pan. Although the asparagus is already cooked, this will allow you to grease the pan a bit with the olive oil from roasting.

  6. 6

    Sauté the asparagus for 1 minute before pouring the egg mixture into the pan. Stir once with a rubber spatula then scatter the goat cheese on top as well as the reserved decorative asparagus spears.

  7. 7

    Place pan in the oven and bake until eggs are set, 12-18 minutes.

  8. 8

    Remove from the oven and slice in eighths. Serve warm, room temperature or chilled.
