While asparagus is fresh and in-season, there's no better vegetable. If you get carried away with your asparagus purchases the way we do, a frittata is a simple and delicious way to enjoy asparagus at its best.
Tip: If you choose to use leftover asparagus that's already cooked, add the asparagus to the pan with the eggs instead of the onion.
Ingredients
- 1½ cups egg substitute
¼ cup skim milk
¼ tsp. garlic salt
- 1 cup chopped asparagus
½ cup shredded, reduced-fat Swiss cheese
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped bell pepper
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine egg substitute, milk, garlic salt, asparagus, and cheese. Mix well.
- Spray 10" skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium. Sauté onion, pepper, and asparagus until tender (5-8 minutes).
- Reduce heat to low and pour egg mixture into skillet. Cover and cook until set (15-20 minutes).
- Cut into slices to serve.
Chef's Practical Notes
Ensure you brown the meat thoroughly; that "crispy crust" is where all the flavor for the gravy comes from.
