Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients to create this delicious frittata:

Ingredients

12 large eggs
1 cup milk
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Make sure to have all ingredients prepped and ready before starting the cooking process.

Instructions

Follow these steps to prepare your frittata:

Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a large baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Sauté the Vegetables

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and asparagus, sautéing until tender, about 5-7 minutes.

Combine and Bake

Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly on the prepared sheet. Pour the egg mixture over the top, then sprinkle with cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.

Cool and Serve

Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Enjoy your delicious frittata warm or at room temperature!

Tips for Perfecting Your Frittata

To ensure your frittata has the perfect texture, avoid overcooking it. Keep an eye on the baking time and check for doneness by gently shaking the pan; if the center is set and slightly jiggly, it’s ready to come out of the oven. Letting it cool slightly before slicing helps maintain its shape and makes for cleaner cuts.

Feel free to experiment with different vegetables and cheeses based on seasonal availability. Bell peppers, spinach, and mushrooms can be excellent additions, allowing you to tailor the frittata to your personal preferences or what you have on hand.

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have leftovers, storing them is easy. Simply cover the frittata with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container and refrigerate. It will keep well for up to 3 days. Reheat individual slices in the microwave or in the oven for a quick breakfast option throughout the week.

You can also freeze the frittata for longer storage. Cut it into squares and place them in a freezer-safe container, layering parchment paper between the pieces to prevent sticking. When you're ready to enjoy, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat as desired.
