- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
Wash the asparagus and trim off the tough ends. Cut the asparagus spears into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the chopped asparagus to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes tender but still bright green. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, salt, and black pepper until combined.
Step 6
Stir in the shredded Emmentaler cheese, the sautéed asparagus, and half of the chopped parsley.
Step 7
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, spreading it evenly. Place the skillet in the preheated oven.
Step 8
Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the frittata is puffed, golden, and set in the center.
Step 9
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 10
Garnish with the remaining parsley before serving. Serve warm or at room temperature.
