Asparagus Frittata With Smoked Trout Food

SMOKED TROUT FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler to high.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and cream together until completely smooth. Set aside.
• Heat an ovenproof 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil; heat for a few seconds. Add the fennel and shallots; cook until the fennel has softened, 3 minutes. Season with the salt and add the tomatoes and trout; cook for another minute. Pour the egg mixture over the trout and let cook undisturbed for 1 minute. Using a rubber spatula, lightly scrape the bottom of the pan to bring up some of the cooked egg. Repeat 3 times. Evenly spread the mixture in the pan--the top will still be liquid--and dot the top with the basil and goat cheese.
• Broil until the frittata is cooked through and lightly browned on top, 3 to 4 minutes. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

ASPARAGUS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Cook shallots in butter: Heat butter into a 10-inch oven-proof frying pan over medium heat. Add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
• Add asparagus: and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
• Add egg mixture: Beat the eggs, ricotta cheese together, and salt, stir in the chives and tarragon. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook until almost set, but still runny on top, about 4 to 5 minutes. While cooking, pre-heat oven broiler.
• Top with cheese and broil: Sprinkle Gruyere cheese over the eggs and put in oven to broil until cheese is melted and browned, and the center is set, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove pan from oven with oven mitts and slide frittata onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges. (Be very careful with the hot pan handle! I usually ice down the handle of any long handled pan I take out of the oven so that no one mistakenly tries to pick up the pan by the hot handle.)

ASPARAGUS FRITTATA WITH SMOKED TROUT

Steps:

• Steam the asparagus until tender and still bright green, about five minutes. Drain and refresh under cold water. Dry on paper towels.
• Beat the eggs in a large bowl. Stir in the salt, pepper, milk, asparagus, smoked trout and chives.
• Drop a bit of egg into the pan; if it sizzles, pour in the egg mixture. Tilt the pan to distribute the eggs and filling evenly over the surface. Shake the pan gently, lifting the edges of the omelet to let the eggs run underneath during the first minute or two of cooking. Turn the heat down to low, cover (use a pizza pan if you don't have a lid that will fit your skillet) and cook 10 minutes, shaking the pan gently every once in a while. Loosen the bottom of the omelet with a wooden spatula while tilting the pan from time to time, so that the bottom doesn't burn. The eggs should be just about set; cook a few minutes longer if they're not. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
• Finish the omelet under the broiler for one to two minutes, watching very carefully to make sure the top doesn't burn. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Loosen the edges with a wooden or plastic spatula. Carefully slide from the pan onto a large, round platter, and cut into wedges or diamond-shaped pieces. If serving the next day, cover with plastic and then foil. Refrigerate overnight.
