Happy FRYAY: Asparagus and Leeks Frittata Recipe

March 25, 2016 by Jamie 2 Comments

If there’s one thing my husband likes, its eggs. In any form. If they come with a runny yolk or cheese, that’s a huge bonus. If I want to make something that he’ll really like and maybe even devour for a few meals, I often turn to eggs.

Eggs are a great compromise since he’s a non-vegetarian living in a vegetarian household; he loves them and I think they are a great and healthy source of protein so I’m not complaining.

Egglands Best Eggs

I turn to @egglandsbest for protein packed meals #springforwardwithEB #sweatpink @fitapproach

And not just any eggs, Eggland’s Best Eggs® because they’re high in Omega 3’s and they have more Vitamin D than ordinary eggs (anyone who lives through a PNW winter knows just how important that Vitamin D is!!).

One of my favorite egg based recipes that can last for a few meals – just reheat and eat type thing – is my asparagus, leeks and fontina frittata. It’s always a crowd pleaser and can last at least 2-3 meals, especially if I pair it with a salad or sliced tomatoes and avocado.

Ingredients:

  • 6 Eggland’s Best Eggs®
  • 2 tbsp whipping cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt and pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 3 leeks, diced
  • 1 tomato, seeded and diced
  • 3 oz of fontina (or any other cheese you have / prefer)

Preheat the broiler.

Whisk the eggs, cream, 1/2 tsp salt, and pepper in a medium bowl to blend and set aside. Heat the oil in a 9 1/2-inch-diameter nonstick ovenproof skillet. Add the leeks and saute about 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the  asparagus and saute until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high.

Add the tomato and a pinch of salt and saute 2 minutes longer. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus mixture and cook for a few minutes until the eggs start to set. Sprinkle with cheese.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still sort of 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 it stand, about 2 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from skillet and slide the frittata onto a plate.

Enjoy!

    Yum! Asparagus, eggs, and cheese are some of my all time favorite foods. This looks so yummy.

    I agree with Casey that pretty much everything is better with a runny yolk egg on it! 🙂
