How to Make Asparagus Frittata With Rocket 21 Day Wonder Diet Day 6

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  2. Lightly spray a small (8-inch) oven-safe frying pan with cooking oil.
  3. Add 1/2 cup chopped onion to the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, for 1 minute until softened.
  4. Add 1 cup trimmed asparagus spears to the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes until slightly tender-crisp.
  5. 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.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the asparagus and onion in the pan.
  7. Cook uncovered over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the frittata is set around the edges and the bottom is lightly browned.
  8. Transfer the pan to the preheated grill for 5-7 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden brown.
  9. 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.
  10. 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!
