1 Sheet Pan Asparagus Frittata

This brunch dish is easy to make. Just mix asparagus and eggs on a baking sheet and bake. You get a colourful, sliceable frittata that’s great on its own or in a sandwich.

Ingredients

• Olive oil for greasing
• 1 lb. asparagus, trimmed
• 12 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 2 cups baby spinach, sliced
• 2 1/2 oz. Goat cheese, crumbled (1/2 cup)

Directions

Step 1: Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly oil (1 teaspoon) rimmed baking sheet.

Step 2: Slice the asparagus ends on the bias 1/4 inch thick, leaving the top 4 inches of each spear intact, then halve each lengthwise (or quarter if thick).

Step 3: In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, Dijon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Stir in spinach and bias-cut asparagus, then pour into the prepared baking sheet. Scatter top with asparagus spears and goat cheese. Bake, rotating the pan halfway through, until the eggs are puffed and the middle no longer jiggles, 20 to 22 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

WICH WORKS

To store frittata slices, stack them between parchment paper, then freeze them in an airtight container or resealable bag for up to 2 months. To reheat from frozen, remove parchment and wrap 1 frittata slice in a damp paper towel; microwave on High until warmed through, 1 min. 30 sec. For a quick bite, put frittata, onions and greens inside a split slice of focaccia.
