Kitchen Tools Needed:
All you need to make this frittata recipe is an oven-safe 10-inch skillet, preferably nonstick. I like to use my well-seasoned cast-iron skillet.
You will also need a whisk to beat the eggs, a sharp knife is handy when chopping the vegetables, and a heat-resistant spatula is needed to saute the veggies.
How to Make This Asparagus Frittata
This simple Asparagus Frittata is a quick and easy recipe, requiring only a couple of steps.
It is cooked first on the stovetop and then finished under a broiler.
Step 1: Whisk the Eggs
Whisk together eggs, half-and-half, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Set aside
Step 2: Saute the Vegetables
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, then raise the heat to medium-high and saute the tomatoes for another minute. Finally, add spinach and cook until beginning to wilt.
Step 3: Add the Eggs and Cook
Pour in the egg mixture, and sprinkle with cheese and herbs. Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but still runny on top.
Step 4: Broil
Place the skillet under the broiler and cook until the top is set and golden brown; about 5 minutes.
