Asparagus and Jack Cheese Frittata

Recipe courtesy Aida Mollenkamp

Â Cook Time 10 min

Â Level Easy

Â Yield 8 Â 10 servings

Ingredients

Â 8 large eggs

Â 1/2 cup shredded jack cheese

Â 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Â Freshly ground black pepper

Â 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Â 1 tablespoon butter

Â 1 pound asparagus, trimmed, cut on diagonal into 1/4-inch pieces (about 3 cups)

Â 3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Â Serving suggestion: basic green salad

Directions

Heat the broiler to high and arrange rack in upper third.

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cheese, salt, and freshly ground black pepper until thoroughly combined.

In a large ovenproof frying pan, heat the oil and the butter over medium-high heat. When it foams, add asparagus, season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cilantro. Reduce heat to low, pour in egg mixture, and cook until a 1-inch border of egg mixture is firm, about 3 minutes. (The center of the frittata will not be set at this point.)

Place the pan in oven and broil until some spots are browned and eggs are just set, about 2 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve with a side salad. It can be served warm or at room temperature.

Note: If, like me, you don't care for cilantro, you could substitute flat leafed parsley.

Made this Sunday and recipe is a keeper, here!

Molton Lava Cake *****I left it in the ramekinS and served as is.

Dark chocolate may be substituted for semisweet in this recipe. These can be made at least a day ahead least one day ahead. Pour the mixture Pour the mixture into ramekins, cover and refrigerate. Be sure to bring to room temperature 30 minutes before baking. I also had a couple of baked and prepared ones left over, and I left them in the ramekins and reheated them in the microwave for 15 seconds, and they worked great!
Prep: 15 minutes

Cook: 15 minutes

Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients
4 ounces semisweet baking chocolate or 3/4 cup semisweet chocolate morsels (I used Ghirardelli for both)

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup confectioners sugar

2 eggs

1 egg yolk

6 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Preparation
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Lightly grease 4 (8-ounce) ramekins (custard cups or souffle dishes). Place on a baking sheet.

2. Microwave chocolate and butter in a large microwaveable bowl on High 30 seconds or until butter is melted. Whisk until chocolate is completely melted. Whisk in vanilla and confectioners sugar until well blended. Whisk in eggs and yolk. Stir in flour and pour batter evenly into prepared custard cups.

2. Bake 13 minutes or until sides are firm but centers are soft. Let stand 10 minutes. Carefully loosen edges with a knife. Invert cakes onto serving plates and sift powdered sugar over the top. Serve immediately.

13 minutes was PERFECTO!
