Vegatable Frittata
Author Lisa Dearen
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter
- ¼ onion, diced
- salt & fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup chopped asparagus, fresh or frozen
- 4 eggs
- ¼ cup fresh basil or flat leaf parsley, optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450° F.
- Melt the butter in an oven proof 8-inch skillet over medium heat. Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the vegetables and sauté until tender. If using a combination of fresh and frozen vegetables, add the frozen first and sauté for 4-5 minutes. Then, add the fresh vegetables and sauté another 8-10 minutes.
- While the vegetables cook, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Add the eggs to the skillet, twisting the skillet (use an oven mitt!) to move the eggs evenly over the vegetables. Add the herbs, if using.
- Cook the eggs until set, about 8-10 minutes. (It’s okay if they’re still a bit runny on top.)
- Place the skillet in the oven for another 10-15 minutes until the eggs have cooked and are no longer runny.
- Slice into quarters and enjoy.
