Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
- ¾ cup ricotta
- 12 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 ℉
- Add a skillet to the stovetop and heat on medium heat and then add the oil. Add diced onions and cook until onions are soft and translucent. About 6-8 minutes. Add in the minced garlic and cook another 2-3 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside. 1 tbsp avocado oil, 1 onion, diced, 1 clove garlic, minced
- Blanch the asparagus. To blanch the asparagus add to boiling water and cook for 3 minutes. I like to use a large frying pan with deep sides so I can fit the whole asparagus stalk without cutting it in half. After boiling, pull the asparagus out of the boiling water and immediately add it to a bowl of ice water. Set aside. 1 lb asparagus, trimmed
- Add the cottage cheese and milk to a blender and blend until smooth. 1 cup cottage cheese, ¼ cup milk
- Either add eggs to the blender and blend to combine, or add eggs and cottage cheese mixture to a bowl and whisk together. Add in salt and pepper.12 eggs, 1 tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
- Take a greased 9x13 pan and add asparagus in a layer on the bottom of the pan. Sprinkle the cooked onions on top and then cover with the egg mixture.
- Take the ricotta and add 8 heaping 1 tablespoon dollops on top of the uncooked frittata. ¾ cup ricotta
- Add the frittata to the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the center is set and no longer jiggly.
- Cut into 6 slices and enjoy!
Notes
Store in an airtight container and keep in the fridge. The frittata is good for 3-4 days if properly stored so you can enjoy a few days in a row, making this a great meal prep option.
