Quick & Easy Asparagus Frittata Recipe
The thing I love most about frittatas is that you can pretty much add anything you want to them. We tend to use a veggie and a fresh herb. Every now and then we’ll add in bacon or another savory meat. You can also mix up the cheese with whatever you have in the fridge.
The day before I cooked this we didn’t get much green with our dinner, so I decided to go heavy on the asparagus. If you don’t just love asparagus, an entire bunch might be a bit too much, you may want to cut it in half.
One last option, you don’t have to use egg beaters in the dish. You can easily do three more eggs instead. I’d love to do it that way, but we’re trying to watch my cholesterol.

| Prep time | 15 minutes |
| Cook time | 10 minutes |
| Total time | 25 minutes |
| Meal type | Breakfast |
Ingredients
- 3 Eggs
- 3 Egg Beaters (Use package to measure 3 eggs worth)
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 bunch Asparagus (Chopped into 1 inch pieces)
- 1 teaspoon Rosemary (Finely Chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/2 cup Swiss Cheese (Grated)
Directions
| Step 1 | |
| Preheat oven to Broil | |
| Step 2 | |
| Heat the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat | |
| Step 3 | |
|
Snap the ends off of a few pieces of asparagus to feel where the bottoms should be cut off.  | |
| Step 4 | |
|
Chop the asparagus into 1 inch pieces.  | |
| Step 5 | |
|
Cook the asparagus in the skillet for 3 minutes, tossing occasionally.  | |
| Step 6 | |
|
Combine eggs, egg beaters, salt, and pepper. Whisk it all together.  | |
| Step 7 | |
| Pour over the cooked asparagus. | |
| Step 8 | |
| Cook for about four minutes. The bottom should completely set up and the middle should start to cook through as well. | |
| Step 9 | |
|
Sprinkle the rosemary and cheese evenly over the top. Instead of shredded swiss we only had slices, so I chopped it up into small pieces and measured out the same amount.  | |
| Step 10 | |
|
Place it in the oven and cook until the top is nice and golden. Make sure the center isn't giggly at all. About 6 minutes.  | |
| Step 11 | |
| Once it's out of the oven be sure to put an oven mitt on the handle to make sure you don't accidentally burn yourself. I usually cut a slice out right away and chop it up into pieces for Wyatt. It seems like frittatas retain their heat for an eternity. | |
