SARAH MCLACHLAN'S ASPARAGUS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
• Remove the tough ends of the asparagus and discard; blanch or steam asparagus for 5 minutes, or until bright green and tender; rinse under cold water and drain thoroughly.
• Beat eggs and milk together; season with nutmeg, salt and pepper; set aside.
• In a ovenproof skillet, preferably cast iron, saute onion in oil until translucent, then add mushrooms and saute until golden brown.
• Add spinach and cook until completely wilted.
• Add chopped tomatoes.
• Pour egg mixture into skillet; stir briefly.
• Sprinkle mozzarella on top, decorate with asparagus and basil and bake 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Serves 4 generously.

ASPARAGUS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Snap the ends off the asparagus where they naturally break to remove any woody ends. Cut the rest of the asparagus into approximately 1 inch pieces.
• Peel and finely chop the onion/shallot.
• Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and whisk them until the white is broken up and they are lightly fluffy. Add the cheese and salt and pepper to taste. Mix until combined.
• Warm 1 tbsp of oil in an 8 inch oven safe skillet over a medium heat. Add the asparagus and onion and cook for a couple minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the asparagus is tender to a knife-point.
• Tip the asparagus and onions into the eggs and mix through. Add the remaining oil to the skillet, reduce the heat slightly and tip the egg mixture into the skillet. Spread the asparagus out evenly, as needed, so the pieces are evenly distributed across the skillet and not sticking out from the eggs.
• Cook for around 5 minutes until the edges are starting to cook but the inside is still runny.
• As it is cooking, warm the broiler. Put the frittata under the broiler to finish cooking the top, keeping a close eye on it so it doesn't cook too much. You want it to be set but not get too brown.
• Serve warm or room temperature.

ASPARAGUS FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 325 degrees F.
• In large bowl combine beaten eggs with the milk and Parmesan. Heat the butter and oil in a large saute pan, until the butter is frothy. Add the onion and cook until the onion is translucent and golden, being careful not to burn them. Using a large wooden spatula, stir in the eggs and turn the heat down to very low. Stir the eggs to form a large flat omelet shape, fully covering the bottom of the pan. When the eggs begin to cook and take shape, stir in the diced asparagus and the herbs. Place the whole saute pan into the oven and continue to cook for 2 more minutes until the frittata is cooked around the edges and the center has puffed up.
• Remove immediately form the oven. Invert the frittata onto a large platter and serve immediately.

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.)
