Fridge Cleaning Continued

Today's breakfast was another meal to clean the fridge. I found 3/4 lb. of fresh asparagus, already washed and trimmed, 5 eggs, and a little grated cheddar and decided to make a frittata. I didn't think the meal would be anything special, and it wasn't, but, nonetheless, it was pretty tasty.

Ingredients:

3/4 lb. fresh asparagus, cut into chunks

a little chicken broth

a little olive oil

couple dashes of kosher salt

5 eggs beaten with 1-2 Tbsp. water

2 handfuls grated cheddar cheese


Here's what I did: 


I first cut the asparagus in chunks, about 1 1/2 inches in length, and sautéed them in a little chicken broth and olive oil over medium heat. I seasoned the asparagus with a little kosher salt, and when the asparagus was sautéed enough to be al dente, I spread it evenly on the bottom of the pan, added the beaten eggs and sprinkled a couple of handfuls of grated cheddar cheese on top.


When the bottom of the egg mixture was set, I moved the pan into the oven and broiled it until the top was set, too. The frittata made four servings and everyone at the table liked it. Another successful meal from the top of my head. : )
