Asparagus and Tomato Frittata

I wanted to recreate a wonderful frittata that I had weeks ago at a local restaurant.  I am not a big fan of this dish, but that one was really good and I wanted to serve it at home. So the result of our first try was this.... cheesy, deliciousness , goodness!!



Ingredients:

half an onion chopped
10 asparagus, chopped
1 tsp. garlic, minced
1/2 red bell pepper chopped
2 Tomatoes, seedless chopped
2 tbsp. chopped cilantro
4 eggs
1/2 cup. sharp cheddar shredded.
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Directions:

preheat oven to 350F. Grease with butter 2 au-gratin dishes or a medium baking dish. (Consider that this recipe is for two persons.)

On a skillet at medium high heat, throw a little vegetable oil , just to cover the bottom, and put the onions, asparagus, garlic, red pepper, and tomatoes  until the onions are translucent. Take out of the heat and reserve.

On a bowl , crack the eggs, whisk them with a fork, add the cheeses, the veggies and the cilantro. season with salt and pepper.

If using separate baking dishes , divide the mix between them. If using one, throw everything in it.

Put in the oven for around 20 to 30 min. Keep checking for doneness because every oven is different.

It is done when it is cooked all through and the top is golden brown.


My oven's heat is stronger on the back, so it browned more on that part. Next time I have to remmeber to rotate it!!

Everything in there, eggs, cheese and veggies!!..yumm!!
