Instructions
-
Prepare the Vegetables: Trim and cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Blanch the asparagus and peas in boiling water until tender-crisp, then transfer them to an ice bath to retain their vibrant color.
-
Beat the Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper.
-
Cook the Frittata: Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the blanched asparagus and peas, sautéing briefly. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, stirring gently to distribute them evenly.
-
Bake to Perfection: Once the edges begin to set, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and bake until the frittata is puffed and golden brown.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with additional fresh herbs and a sprinkle of Parmesan.
