Ingredients

    1 pound asparagus
    6 ounces button mushrooms
    1 tbsp olive oil
    1 clove garlic
    1 shallot
    1 small or 1/2 large zucchini
    6 large eggs
    1/3 cup 1% milk
    1 tsp salt
    1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
    dash nutmeg
    1 tbsp chopped chives


    1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
    2 medium or 1 large tomato

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

2. Wash and trim asparagus and cut into 1-inch long pieces. Blanche asparagus in boiling water for 1-2 minutes and immediately shock in ice water. Drain and dry asparagus, set aside.


3. Clean and slice mushrooms. In a skillet, heat olive oil and saute the mushrooms over medium heat for about ten minutes. While they cook, grate or finely mince the garlic and shallots. Add the garlic and shallots to the mushrooms and continue to cook for about two minutes more. Remove the mushroom mixture from the heat and set aside.

4. Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise and slice into thin, half-moon shapes.

5. In a large bowl, beat together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and chives. Add asparagus, mushroom mixture, and zucchini.

6. Lightly spray a 2-quart baking dish (11 x 7 x 1.5) with cooking spray. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the dish.

7. Thinly slice tomatoes and arrange on top of the egg mixture. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top and bake in the oven until set, about 30-35 minutes. If desired, place under the broiler for 2-3 minutes to brown the top.

8. Allow the frittata to cool before serving. Frittata can be made ahead and chilled, covered, overnight -- allow to come to room temperature before serving.

    I made a few changes to make it a bit more healthy for me: Eggbeaters instead of eggs, non-fat milk instead of 1%, low fat parmesan cheese instead of regular and salt substitute in place of salt. It was very good. - 5/14/08

    This is just delicious! When I try a new recipe I usually follow the directions exactly and then make any changes next time. I won't be changing a thing on this one. My husband says "Make sure you keep this recipe!" We had it with some friends and they loved it too and asked for the recipe. Thanks! - 7/4/09

    Excellent! I made it in a round quiche pan. Don't let the amount of veggies scare you. It cooked up beautifully. My son and 88 year old mom ate it and said, "YUM!" Light but filling. Would make it for company! - 5/29/08

    So healthy! Because I'm trying to lower my cholesterol, I used 6 egg whites and 3 eggs. It was good. I had one piece for dinner and that's all I needed. We're doing left overs for the AM! - 11/28/08

    This was a hit at dinner tonight. I added some red pepper & sauteed it with the mushrooms, onions, and zucchini, and then added fresh basil along with the chives. I love the way the parmesan cheese leaves a crisp crust on the top without adding too much fat.
    Subbed some egg whites, very good!

    I made some minor adjustments (I didn't have any asparagus). I added BOCA soy crumbles & cottage cheese to the mixture for added protein - then I used a 12 count silicon muffin pan - lightly sprayed for easy release. This is built in portion control. This was REALLY good & easy to clean up. - 3/5/10

    5 stars if the timing/instructions were right. Was in a 2 quart baking dish uncovered for 35 minutes @ 350 then took off cover & broiled for 3 minutes & frittata was still super runny when I tried to slice so I put it back in the oven @ 350 for another 30 min before it stopped being runny - 9/25/11

    This did not go well here. Not sure what was wrong, but the egg would not set in the center. Bummer- because the veggies looked so good! I think if we try again, we might use a 9X13 dish or something rather than a casserole dish - 7/25/11

    People please do not use egg beaters. They are all chemicals. Eggs are not bad for you. If you still want to cut things you think are bad use real egg whites. Don't use the chemical stuff - 6/27/18

    Start with the mushrooms since they take the longest. Start the oven preheating just before you add the garlic and shallots to the mushrooms. If you follow the instructions, the vegetables are cooked perfectly. The picture makes it look like there is a crust. There isn't one. Awesome recipe. - 1/23/16

    Too many chunky vegetables for my liking compared to how thick the egg mixture came to be. Flavor was fine, not sure if I will make it again. A lot of work and some expensive produce (especially when not in season) for a ok meal. Nothing I would write home about though. :( - 3/13/15

    I substituted egg whites for 4 of the eggs, dried zucchini and dried tomato. All the veges were sauteed (no blanching). Topped with low sugar tomato jam garnish. I'll be making this again!
