Asparagus-Gruyère Frittata

Ingredients:

2 tsp olive oil
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 tsp salt
1 lb fresh asparagus, tough stem ends snapped
off and spears cut diagonally into 1-inch lengths
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or Swiss cheese)

Directions:

1. Preheat broiler. Pour olive oil into a 10 inch ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat.

2. Add onion and salt and stir until onion is softened but not browned, about 3 minutes.

3. Add asparagus, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook covered until asparagus is barely tender, 6 to 8 minutes.

4. Pour in eggs and cook until almost set but still runny on top, about 2 minutes.

5. Sprinkle cheese over eggs and broil until cheese is melted and browned, 3 to 4 minutes.

6. Slide frittata onto a serving platter and cut into wedges.

Serve with fresh fruit for breakfast or with a simple green salad for lunch or dinner.

Makes 6 servings.
