Bacon and asparagus gruyere frittata
Yield: 6 servings Prep time: 12 minutes Cook time: 20 minutes Bake time: 15 minutes
1 pound asparagus
6 slices bacon 鈥� sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
kosher salt / fresh finely ground black pepper
1 medium onion 鈥� sliced
1 medium red pepper 鈥� sliced
8 large eggs
1/2 cup whole milk
5 ounces gruyere cheese 鈥� grated (2 cups)
fresh dill 鈥� chopped, to garnish
Heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Trim and discard the tough fibrous ends of the asparagus. Cut spears into 1/2-inch pieces (about 8 ounces).
Place bacon and 1 tablespoon water in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Cook until water evaporates, bacon renders it蘑菇视频 fat and crisps until golden, 7 鈥� 8 minutes. Remove bacon to a paper towel lined plate. Degrease pan, reserving 1 tablespoon bacon fat in the pan.
Heat pan and bacon fat over medium-low heat. Add asparagus and season with a 1/4 teaspoon salt. Saut茅 until tender crisp, 2 minutes. Add butter and melt. Add onions, peppers, season with 3/4 teaspoon salt and 3 turns on the pepper mill. Saut茅 until everything is tender, 6 鈥� 8 minutes.
Whisk eggs and milk in a large bowl.
Stir in cheese, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 4 turns on the pepper mill. Pour into the fry pan with the saut茅ed vegetables over medium-low heat and cook for 2 minutes, stirring slowing with a rubber spatula to slightly set.
Place fry pan into the oven and bake until eggs are puffed and set in the middle with a slight wiggle when gently shaken, about 15 minutes. Remove. Let rest 2 minutes to continue cooking.
Using a rubber spatula, carefully loosen the edges, all the way around and slide frittata onto a cutting board. Cut into six wedges. Garnish with dill.
