Asparagus Frittata
Beware this is super amazing. We reheated it for breakfast at work and Joshua sent me a message soley to tell me how yummy this was. It's not just eggs, not like a quiche, but somehow crazy tasty. Man we love the cast iron pan. Maybe I should name it :)
from this book
10-12 stalks of asparagus
10 large eggs
2 shallots; sliced
small handful chives; chopped
1/4 cup soft goat cheese
2 tbs olive oil
1 bring a pot of salted water to a boil, place the asparagus in, to blanch it, for 60 seconds,
strain and run cold water over them to stop cooking
blanching them brings out a great green color, livens em up
2 place oil in cast iron skillet over medium heat to get warm and preheat oven to
425 degrees F
3 cut the head of the asparagus spears off and set aside, cut the reaming stalk pieces
into 2-3" pieces
4 scramble the eggs in a bowl, add scant 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper, stir in asparagus
stalk pieces (preserve heads)and shallots
5 pour egg mixture into hot pan, as the edges cook move them into the middle and push the
uncooked egg to the outside
6 cook until the middle begins to set, 2-3 mintues
7 sprinkle asparagus heads and goat cheese onto top of frittata
8 place in oven for 8-10 minutes, until eggs are totally set
9 remove and top with chives
