| Frittatas are flat Italian omelettes. In spring, they are made with seasonal vegetables such as young artichokes, tender asparagus, baby leeks or wild mushrooms. When cut into bite-size pieces and garnished with a little creme fraiche and spring chives, they make a tasty hors d'oeuvre. |
RECIPE INGREDIENTS
| 6 large eggs |
| 1/2 cup minced fresh chives |
| 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley |
| 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese |
| 2 tablespoons half and half |
| 1/2 teaspoon salt |
| 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
| 1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
| 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
| One 1-pound bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces |
| 1/4 yellow onion, minced |
1/3 cup creme fraiche or sour cream |

DIRECTIONS
Preheat broiler.
Whisk eggs, 1/4 cup chives, parsley, Parmesan cheese, half and half, salt and pepper in large bowl until just blended. Melt butter and oil in heavy nonstick 10-inch-diameter omelette pan over medium heat. Add asparagus and onion and saute until asparagus is crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Pour egg mixture over asparagus. Reduce heat to low; cook until edges are just set, about 3 minutes. Using heat-proof spatula, lift cooked edges of egg mixture and tilt pan so uncooked eggs run beneath. Continue cooking until egg mixture is nearly set on top, about 5 minutes.
Broil until just puffed and lightly golden on top, about 2 minutes.
|
Slide spatula under frittata to loosen; slide out onto cutting board. Cut frittata into 1-inch squares. (Can be made 1 hour ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
|
Arrange squares on serving platter. Spoon dollop of creme fraiche atop each square. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup chives and serve.
