ASPARAGUS FRITTATA 

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1/2 pound asparagus spears
  • 1 cup egg beaters or egg whites
  • 1/4 cup fat-free half and half or skim milk
  • 1/4 cup reduced fat or fat free cheddar cheese
  • Pam Olive Oil flavored Cooking Spray

PREPARATION:

Steam asparagus spears for 2-3 minutes, then plunge in cold water to prevent further cooking and drain. Cut into pieces and set aside.

Combine egg beaters or egg whites with skim milk or fat-free half and half in a bowl.

Preheat broiler.

Spray a fine mist of Pam Olive Oil Cooking Spray into a medium nonstick skillet that has an oven-proof handle. Heat pan over medium heat. Add asparagus and egg mixture. Cook frittata for 5 minutes until edges begin to set.  Do not move the frittata in any way.  Sprinkle cheese on top.

Carefully transfer skillet. Broil frittata for 2-3 minutes or until eggs are set. Remove from oven.

Cut frittata into 4 wedges and serve immediately.
