Ingredients

  • 1 lb asparagus
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded low fat Swiss cheese
  • 1 small sweet onion
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsps olive oil

Directions

  • Snap the tough ends off of the asparagus and diagonally cut the spears into 1" lengths. Cut the onion into thin slices.
  • Heat olive oil in a 10" oven-proof frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onions and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are softened, about 3 minutes.
  • Add asparagus, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook, covered, until asparagus is barely tender, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Lightly beat and add the eggs; cook until almost set, but still runny on top, about 2 minutes; pre-heat the broiler while the eggs cook.
  • Sprinkle cheese over eggs and place the pan in the oven; broil until the cheese is melted and lightly browned - 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and slide the frittata onto a serving plate.
  • Cut into wedges and serve immediately.
