Wonderful as a Sunday brunch. Makes a beautiful presentation. I add 1/4 cup tangy cheese after pulling out of the oven to add flavor and interest. Wonderful as a Sunday brunch.

Ingredients
-
3 large eggs
5 egg whites
1/4 c grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 tgeaspoon dried oregano
1/2 pound fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 (7 oz) jar roasted red pepper (not in oil) drained and chopped
Tips
Watch in the broiler - don't over brown. You don't want burned eggs!
Directions
Preheat the broiler. Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cheese, salt, and ground pepper in a medium bowl: set aside.
Heat the oil in a 10 inch ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, garlic, basil, and oregano: cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens, 1-2 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook, stirring frequently, until bright green, about 4 minutes. Add the roasted peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the asparagus are crip-tender, about 3 minutes. Add the egg mixture and stir gently to distribute the vegetables evenly in the skillet. Reduce the heat and cook just until the eggs are set in the center, 7-8 minutes (but do not stir).
Place the skillet under the broiler and broil the frittata 5 inches from the heat auntil the top is lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
