  • 1/2 lb asparagus, tough ends trimmed off
  • 1/2 cup shallots, chopped
  • 2 tsp butter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 5 large egg whites
  • 1 tbsp 1% milk
  • 2 tbsp fresh grated Pecorino Romano
  • 3 oz reduced fat Swiss cheese (I used Sargento)
  • salt and fresh pepper to taste



Steam asparagus crisp and tender, about 2-5 minutes. Thinly slice on the diagonal.

Preheat oven to 350°.

Heat
butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots and saute until golden, about 4-5 minutes. Add steamed asparagus, salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl whisk eggs, egg whites, grated cheese, milk, salt, and pepper. Add half of the swiss and mix well.

Add
eggs to the skillet making sure eggs cover the asparagus. Cook on medium for about 4 minutes, until the edges begin to set. Move the skillet to oven. Cook about 15 minutes, or until frittata is completely cooked. Serve warm, cut into 4 equal wedges.
