How to Make Asparagus Frittata With Rocket 21 Day Wonder Diet Day 6
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Lightly spray a small (8-inch) oven-safe frying pan with cooking oil.
- Add 1/2 cup chopped onion to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 1 minute until softened.
- Add 1 cup trimmed asparagus spears to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 2 large egg whites, and 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly over the asparagus and onion in the pan.
- Cook uncovered over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the frittata is set around the edges and the bottom is lightly browned.
- Transfer the pan to the preheated grill for 5-7 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden brown.
- While the frittata is cooking, prepare your rocket salad: In a separate bowl, toss 2 cups of rocket (arugula) with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Once cooked, let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving with the rocket salad.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
