Asparagus-Leek Frittata Breakfast

  • 3 ounces fresh asparagus, chopped
  • 1/4 cup leeks, fresh, chopped
  • 1/4 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 egg, large
  • 2 egg whites, uncooked
  • 2 tablespoons Fontina cheese, diced
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons Parmesan cheese
  • 6 fluid ounces orange juice



Preparation

  • Preheat broiler.
  • Trim asparagus and cut on diagonal into 1 inch pieces.
  • Spray a broilerproof nonstick skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat.
  • Sauté leeks for about 3 minutes; add asparagus and mushrooms and sauté until tender.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk egg, egg whites, 1 tablespoon of the Fontina cheese and the black pepper.
  • Add egg mixture to skillet; reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until almost set.
  • Remove skillet from heat, sprinkle with remaining Fontina cheese and Parmesan cheese.
  • Heat under broiler until egg is set, frittata is puffed and cheese begins to bubble, about 4 minutes.
  • Allow to sit for a minute or two before inverting onto a serving plate.
  • Enjoy with a glass of orange juice.
  • TIP:
  • Freshly grated or shredded Parmesan cheese works best in this recipe.
