Frittata con Asparagi e Prosciutto (Asparagus and Prosciutto Frittata)

Frittata con Asparagi e Prosciutto (Asparagus and Prosciutto Frittata) ingredients

• 8 large eggs
• 1 bunch asparagus spears
• 4 oz prosciutto cotto (cooked ham)
• 0.5 yellow onion
• 0.5 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp black pepper

How to make Frittata con Asparagi e Prosciutto (Asparagus and Prosciutto Frittata)

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Trim the woody ends from the 1 bunch of asparagus spears, then cut the remaining tender stalks into 1-inch pieces. Finely dice the 1/2 yellow onion and cut the 4 oz of prosciutto cotto into small strips.
2. In a large, oven-safe non-stick skillet (about 10-12 inches), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
3. Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are tender-crisp. Stir in the prosciutto cotto strips and cook for 1-2 minutes more, just until lightly warmed through.
4. While the vegetables cook, whisk the 8 large eggs in a large bowl with the 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and prosciutto in the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and cook on the stovetop for 5-7 minutes, without stirring, until the edges begin to set and lift slightly from the pan.
6. Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center. An inserted knife should come out clean.
7. Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool in the skillet for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. This allows the frittata to set fully and makes for cleaner cuts.
8. Serve the Frittata con Asparagi e Prosciutto warm or at room temperature, perhaps with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad.
