Calories: 191kcal
Equipment
- 1 large oven-proof skillet
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 2 Tablespoons heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into ¼-inch pieces
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- ½ cup goat cheese, crumbled
- ¼ cup fresh basil, roughly chopped (or 1 tsp. dried)
Instructions
- Preheat the broiler.
- Whisk the eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Set aside.
- Place a large non-stick ovenproof skillet over medium heat.
- Add olive oil to pan. When oil is shimmery (about 1-2 minutes), add asparagus and cook until crisp-tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the egg mixture. Cook until the eggs start to set, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add tomatoes, goat cheese, and basil. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata starts to look set on the bottom but still runny on top, about 2 minutes.
- Place skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Let the frittata cool for about 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, carefully loosen it from the skillet, slide it onto a plate, and serve immediately.
- Place leftovers in an airtight container and store in refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Reheat slices gently in the microwave at 50% power or in a 300ºF oven until warmed through. Frittata can be frozen, but the texture is best when refrigerated and eaten within a few days.
