WEEKLY ASPARAGUS OMELETTE (FRITTATA) — SIMPLE, SEASONAL, AND DELICIOUS

A quick and easy omelette perfect for any time of year, featuring tender asparagus and sweet sautéed onions. Use fresh asparagus in season or frozen for convenience. Ideal for two servings or easily scaled up.

🕒 Prep Time: 5 min

🍳 Cook Time: 12 min
🍰 Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 4 eggs
  • ½ small onion
  • 4 stalks asparagus (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat a 16 cm (6-inch) skillet over medium-low heat and warm olive oil.
  2. Thinly slice the onion into rings and sauté for about 2 minutes until slightly softened.
  3. Chop asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Add to pan and sauté until tender—about 2 minutes for frozen asparagus or 5 minutes for fresh.
  4. In a bowl, whisk eggs with 1 tbsp water, salt, and pepper to taste. Pour eggs evenly over sautéed vegetables without stirring. Cook on stovetop for about 1 minute until edges start to set.
  5. Transfer skillet to preheated oven at 190°C (375°F) and bake for 10 minutes until fully set and lightly golden.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature. Optionally, top with slices of prosciutto crudo or drizzle with pumpkin seed oil. Grated radishes (red or white) tossed with a little pumpkin seed oil also make a fresh, crunchy accompaniment.

💡 Tips

  • For larger servings or a frittata, use an appropriately sized pan (22–25 cm) and increase egg count accordingly.
  • Avoid stirring the eggs once poured for a fluffy, even texture.
  • Frozen asparagus works well off-season—just adjust cooking times slightly.
  • Add toppings or sides to customize flavor and texture.

🍽️ Perfect For

  • Quick, healthy breakfasts or light dinners
  • Seasonal spring meals with fresh asparagus
  • Easy meal prep for two or more
