Onion Frittata
Frittata’s are easy egg dishes that become special when
you add certain ingredients, like asparagus and sweet
onions. They make great simple meals and this one is sure
to impress people on special occasions.
• 1 new season white onion
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 1 tbsp crushed garlic
• 8 fat asparagus spears (enough to give one
• generous cup of finely sliced spears)
• Salt and pepper
• 8 big eggs
• 1 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1. Heat olive oil in pan. Chop the onion finely and add to
the pan with the olive oil. When the onion has started
to soften, add the garlic and the sliced asparagus.
Continue to cook until the asparagus is tender - about
four minutes.
2. Lightly beat the eggs and sprinkle with salt and
pepper. Add three quarters of the cheese to the eggs
and pour this mixture over the vegetables. Move the
mixture around allowing the liquid egg to replace the
set mixture. When you have lots of thick mixture, stop
stirring and allow it to set.
3. Scatter the rest of the cheese over the top of the frittata
and brown the top under a grill or cover with a lid and let
it set for a few minutes.
