5 from 1 review

An easy breakfast or brunch to use up some leftover asparagus. Throw in some cherry tomatoes and you’ve got a hearty meal in no time.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 oz goat cheese, crumbled
  • salt and pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 10 spears of cooked asparagus, chopped into 1/2″ pieces
  • 12 cherry or grape tomatoes, sliced lengthwise

Instructions

  1. Place an oven rack about 8″ from the top and preheat the broiler.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat the eggs well. Season with salt and pepper. Add about half the goat cheese to the eggs and beat again.
  3. In a 10″ cast iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the asparagus and tomatoes and sauté until warmed through and the tomatoes are beginning to soften (about 2 minutes). Pour the egg mixture gently over the vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese over the egg mixture. Allow to cook until set (about 4 minutes).
  4. Transfer the pan to the oven and broil until the top of the frittata is puffy and browned, turning once to ensure even browining (about 4 mimutes).
  5. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use almost any leftover vegetable for this. Some people like to start with a finely chopped shallot. Leftover mushrooms, fingerling potatoes or a crumbled Italian sausage work well, too.
