You Say Frittata, I Say Delicious

Breakfast, brunch, lunch or dinner, the frittata is the jack-of-all-trades meal. The Tom Hanks of meals (Not including Joe Vs. The Volcano Hanks).  Throw anything in there and you have a complete meal.  Change up the vegetables, spices or cheese and you have a completely different dish.

Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons whipping cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus a pinch
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 bunches asparagus, trimmed, cut into 1/4 to 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped fresh spinach (thawed and drained if frozen)
  • 1 tomato, seeded, diced
  • Salt
  • 3 ounces Pecorino-Romano, diced

Directions

Preheat the broiler. Whisk the eggs, cream, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend. Set aside. Heat the oil and butter in a 9 1/2-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the tomato and spinach and a pinch of salt and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour the egg mixture over saute mixture and cook for a few minutes until the eggs start to set. Sprinkle with cheese. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 2 minutes. Place the skillet under the broiler. Broil until the top is set and golden brown on top, about 5 minutes. Let the frittata stand 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a plate.
