Ingredients:

1 cup (134g or 4.7 oz.) asparagus cut diagonally into 2.5cm (1”) pieces;

2 tbsp. of chopped onions;

2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites lightly beaten with 1 tbsp. of water;

55g (2oz) soft goat’s cheese, crumbled;

1 tbsp. of fresh thyme chopped;

30g (1 oz.) unsalted butter;

Salt and pepper to taste.

How to Cook The Frittata:

Preheat the grill.
In the large bowl mix the eggs beaten with water, goats cheese, thyme and salt to taste and set aside.
Melt the butter over a medium heat in a large ovenproof frying pan with a lid. Add the onions and fry them till translucent and soft.
Empty the bowl with eggs, goat’s cheese and thyme into the frying pan, tilt the pan around to spread the egg mixture evenly. Cook it for 1 min allowing the bottom to set.
Add the asparagus, spreading evenly over the top, reduce the heat, cover the frying pan with a lid and cook for 5-6 min till the edges are set and puffed up.
Take the lid off the frying pan; put the pan under the grill for 1-2 min until the top is set and golden.
Serve on a warm plate.
