Asparagus And Leek Frittata Recipes

ASPARAGUS AND LEEK FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F.
• In an oven-safe skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add leeks, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until nearly cooked through and softened. Add asparagus and cook for an additional five minutes or until it is tender, but still crisp.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and additional salt and pepper.
• Once asparagus is cooked, add egg mixture, reduce heat to low, and cook for 1 minute, stirring gently. Move to preheated oven and bake for 23-25 minutes or until eggs are set.
• May be served hot, room temperature, or even cold.

ASPARAGUS AND SPINACH FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and saute for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and sauteed leeks with the spinach, asparagus, goat cheese, basil, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Mix well.
• Spray a 9-inch nonstick cake pan or springform pan with nonstick cooking spray. Add the breadcrumbs and shake to evenly coat the pan. Pour the egg mixture into the pan.
• Bake until solid and a toothpick comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes.
• Invert the frittata onto a plate and then flip, right-side up, onto a serving plate, or remove the sides of the springform pan and transfer to a serving plate.
• Serve warm or at room temperature.
