Breakfast
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 1/2 Cup Shallots
- 1# Thin Spear Asparagus
- 6 large eggs
- 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh chives
- 1 Drop Black Pepper Essential Oil
- 1 Drop Tarragon Essential Oil
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
Instructions
- Chop shallots and prep asparagus by snapping off woody ends then chopping into 1 inch pieces.
- Put butter in a pan, add shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until they soften and turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add asparagus and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
- Beat eggs, ricotta, salt, chives, and essential oil together. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and cook until almost set, but still runny on top, about 4 to 5 minutes. While cooking, pre-heat oven broiler.
- Top with cheese and put in oven to broil until cheese is melted and browned, and the center is set, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Remove pan from oven with oven mitts and slide frittata onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges. (Be very careful with the hot pan handle!.)
