Main Ingredients
- 0.5 pound asparagus, tough ends trimmed cut into 0.5-inch diagonal pieces
- 0.5 cup shallots, chopped
- 2 teaspoons salted butter
- 5 large eggs
- 4 large egg whites about 0.5 cup
- 2 tablespoons fresh grated Pecorino Romano
- 3 ounces part-skim Swiss cheese, shredded

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Steam asparagus crisp and tender, about 3 to 4 minutes. Thinly slice on the diagonal into 0.5-inch pieces.
- Heat butter in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Stir in shallots and sauté until golden, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add steamed asparagus, salt, and pepper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk eggs, egg whites, Pecorino Romano, salt, and pepper. Fold in the Swiss cheese until well combined.
- Pour egg mixture over the asparagus in the skillet, ensuring it covers evenly. Cook on medium heat for 4 minutes, until edges begin to set.
- Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 16 to 18 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and golden on top.
- Let rest for 2 minutes, then slice into 4 wedges and serve hot.
