Asparagus and Swiss Cheese Frittata Reveiw!



Asparagus and Swiss Cheese Frittata



This is an easy  and quick dish to make.  It also is much healthier because of all of the egg whites. I found it ok, just wasn't a favorite of mine. I love 

asparagus, but not loving it like this. I probably would not make this dish 
again. 

Ingredients:


Break ends of asparagus







whisk eggs, egg whites, grated cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. 
Add half  the swiss cheese and mix well.


Steam asparagus
Melt butter


Add onions



Remove steamed asparagus and cut in small pieces


Add to onions


Pour mixture over asparagus


Cook for 4 minutes-Add rest of swiss cheese over top


Bake for 16 minutes


Remove


Slice and serve

Enjoy!

Recipe!


Ingredients:
      1/2 lb asparagus, tough ends trimmed off
               1/2 cup shallots, chopped
                 2 tsp butter
                 3 large eggs
                 5 large egg whites
               1 tbsp 1% milk
                 2 tbsp fresh grated Pecorino Romano
                 3 oz reduced fat Swiss cheese (I used Sargento)
                 salt and fresh pepper to taste
        
        Steam asparagus crisp and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Thinly slice on the diagonal into 1/2-inch pieces.
         
        Preheat oven to 350°F.
         
       Heat butter in a 10-inch oven safe skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots and saute until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Add steamed asparagus, salt and pepper.
         
        In a medium bowl whisk eggs, egg whites, grated cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Add the swiss cheese and mix well.
         
Add eggs to the skillet making sure eggs cover the asparagus. Cook on medium for about 4 minutes, until the edges begin to set. Move the skillet to oven. Cook about 16 to 18 minutes, or until frittata is completely cooked. Serve hot, cut into 4 to 6 equal wedges
