Asparagus Frittata Recipe (+)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350° F, with the rack in the upper 1/3 of the oven.
Heat a heavy oven-proof 10" skillet and melt butter.
In a medium bowl, beat eggs, stir in cheese and asparargus, and then salt and pepper lightly. (Remember: the cheese will add salt also).
When the butter is quite hot, add egg mixture, but don't stir. Reduce heat to medium low and cook about 5 minutes.
Bake in preheated oven until the top is just set, about 10 minutes. Don't overcook or the eggs will be dry.
