Ham And Asparagus Frittata

1. 1

   Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil, preheat the broiler. While the water heats, trim the asparagus to fit in a circular pattern in a large skillet (similar to the hands of a clock). Blanch the asparagus in boiling water 2-3 minutes, until just barely tender and bright green. Transfer the asparagus to a colander and run cold water over it. Set aside to drain.

2. 2

   Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray and set over a medium-high heat.

3. 3

   When the skillet is hot, add the onion and mushrooms and cook until the onions are just tender, about 4 minutes.Add the ham and cook, stirring often, until heated through.

4. 4

   While the ham cooks, whisk the eggs and two tbsp of cold water in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper.

5. 5

   Reduce heat to medium, use a wooden spoon to spread the onion, mushrooms and ham evenly across the skillet.

6. 6

   Pour the eggs over the vegetables and ham. Tilt the pan to make sure the eggs spread evenly.

7. 7

   Cook until the edges of the egg are done and the center begins to bubble, about 4 minutes. The eggs will not be fully cooked at this stage, but will finish under the broiler.

8. 8

   Arrange the aspargus spears in a circular pattern on the eggs, then top with the cheese. Place the skillet unter the broiler and cook until the cheese is melted and begins to brown.
