Skinny Asparagus Frittata

This is great to make for the week ahead, and clocks in with 11 grams of protein and just under 150 calories per serving.

Ingredients

• 4 whole eggs
• 4 egg whites
• 1/4 C skim milk
• 1 bunch asparagus, washed, ends removed and cut into 1 inch pieces
• 1/2 medium onion, sliced thin
• 1 TBS olive oil
• 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper
• 1 tsp dash of italian seasoning
• 1/2 C shredded sharp cheddar cheese

​

Directions

1. In a large sautee pan, heat olive oil and onions for about 3 minutes until soft then add asparagus. Season with salt and pepper, then cover and let it steam for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. While the veggies steam, beat the eggs, milk and italian seasonings together in a bowl.
3. Once veggies are soft, pour egg mixture over the veggies and sprinkle the cheese. Let the eggs set under medium heat and preheat the broiler to low. Once the eggs are set on the bottom and almost on the top (about 2-5 minutes), set the pan under the broiler to let the top finish and brown up a bit. Be carefuly when you remove the pan, the handle will be very hot!
4. Let it cool, then slice into 6 pieces and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days to enjoy later.
