Asparagus Frittata

Recipe Ingredients

2 tablespoons	30ml	Olive oil
1/2 cup	31g / 1.1oz	Thinly-sliced onion
1		Garlic clove - minced
1 teaspoon	5ml	Chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Tomato - seeded, diced (medium)
12		Cooked asparagus stalks - cut 2" pieces
8		Eggs (large)
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
1/2 cup	73g / 2.6oz	Freshly-grated Parmesan cheese

Recipe Instructions

Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a 9- to 10-inch, preferably nonstick, ovenproof frying pan. Add the onion, garlic and thyme. Saute until the onion is soft. Add the asparagus and cook for a minute longer. Add half of the tomato and give a few stirs. Remove the vegetables and wipe out the pan.

Turn on the broiler. While it is heating, beat the eggs, salt, pepper and cheese together.

In the same frying pan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Pour in the eggs and scatter the vegetables on top of the eggs. Turn the heat to low and cook until the frittata is golden brown on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Place the frittata under the broiler and cook until firm. Slide onto a plate and garnish with the remaining chopped tomato.
