Spring Vegetable and Potato Frittata

 

This frittata is a great brunch entree...
 

8 large 

 

eggs, beaten

 

¼ cup 

 

grated Parmesan

 

3 Tbs 

 

chopped fresh Italian flat-leaf parsley

 

 

 

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

 

1/8 tsp 

 

cayenne pepper

 

3 Tbs 

 

extra-virgin olive oil

 

1 medium 

 

Yukon Gold potato (about ½ lb.) scrubbed and diced (about 1 1/2 cups)

 

1 medium 

 

yellow onion, sliced thinly

 

½ lb 

 

asparagus, trimmed and cut on the diagonal into 1" pieces

 

3 cloves 

 

garlic, minced

 

6 oz 

 

shredded sharp Cheddar cheese (about 1¾ cups)

 

 

1

In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, Parmesan, parsley, ½ t. salt, 1/8 t. pepper, and the cayenne.

2

Heat 2 T. of the oil in a 10" ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add potato and ¼ t. salt and saute, stirring occasionally, until browned, 6-7 minutes. Transfer potatoes to a bowl. Reduce the heat to medium. If the pan is dry, add the remaining 1 T. oil.  Add onion and cook, stirring frequently, until if softens and begins to brown, 4-5 minutes. Stir in asparagus, garlic, ¼ t. salt and 1/8 t. pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the asparagus is bright green and crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Lower heat to medium-low and add egg mixture and potatoes, stirring until the ingredients are combined, 10-15 seconds. Add Cheddar and stir until mixed in. Cook without stirring until eggs have almost set, 10-12 minutes. (The center may still be loose but should be bubbling a little; the sides should be set). Meanwhile, position an oven rack 6" from the broiler element and heat the broiler to high.

3

Transfer skillet to oven and broil until the eggs have set completely and the top of the frittata is golden brown, 1-3 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Gently transfer to a cutting board, slice into 4 wedges and serve.

 

Servings: 4
 

 Cooking Tips:   If you do not have an ovenproof skillet, wrap the handle of the pan with foil before placing in the oven.
