Asparagus Frittata

RELATED CONTENT

1 teaspoon butter
8-10 asparagus spears, tough ends removed and cut on the diagonal into 1/2" pieces
2 tablespoons onion, minced, or 2 small shallots, peeled and minced
2 eggs
dash milk
dash cayenne pepper, salt
freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon mild oil
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan or pecorino romano cheese
chives, chopped (optional)

Turn on the oven broiler. In an 8" nonstick skillet sauté the asparagus and onion in 1 teaspoon of butter for a minute or so—just until the asparagus is tender. Remove from the pan. In blender blend the eggs, milk, and seasonings. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until the pan is hot. Pour the egg mixture into the pan, tilting it to evenly coat the bottom. After about 30 seconds, lift up the egg in a few places to let the runny egg out. Reduce heat to medium when the bottom is light brown. Top the eggs with the asparagus and then the parmesan cheese. Be sure to wrap aluminum foil around the pan's handle if it is wooden. Put the pan under the broiler for about 30-60 seconds, watching so that the eggs don't burn. Remove from the broiler and slice in half. Top with chives. Serves 2.
