Name: Asparagus Frittata
Total time: 30 min
Yield: Serves 2
Cuisine: British

8 rashes of precooked crispy bacon
4 large eggs
4 tbsp milk
Salt and pepper
16 asparagus spears, trim off the woody ends, peel off the outer layer
4 tbsp olive oil
200grms sliced Fontina cheese (you could also use gouda, gruyere, emmental or edam instead)
10gm Parmesan, grated

Method

step 1
First cook the asparagus. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil that is wide enough to hold the asparagus laying down. Place the Asparagus into the water and rapidly bring back to the boil, then immediately lower the heat and continue to simmer uncovered for around 4 minutes. It is cooked when a knife can easily pierce the base and it should bend a little, but not be floppy. Drain and remove the string and cut into 5 cm pieces.
step 2
Fry the bacon until crispy, then drain.
step 3
Beat the eggs with milk and season and heat the pan of olive oil over a low heat for 2 minutes. When hot, add the cooked, peeled and dried asparagus and cook for a couple of minutes until the asparagus is hot.
step 4
Next, add the egg and milk mix and stir gently until the eggs start to cook and form.
step 5
Sprinkle with bacon and cook gently for another 4 minutes.
step 6
Sprinkle the cooked frittata with Fontina and Parmesan cheese and some black pepper.
step 7
Optional - Add Salad
