Asparagus Basil Frittata


Ingredients:
1 Tbsp olive oil
3 red potatoes
asparagus (a bunch, whatever quantity that is)
¼ cup of green onions (I use about three stalks)
2 cloves garlic
6 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1 Tbsp mustard powder
salt, pepper to tas
te
1 container basil/tomato feta cheese (whatever size container that is – 2oz? 6 oz? I don’t know…)
1 bunch of fresh basil
Healthy But Non-Vegetarian Option: Package of (6) turkey sausage links

Steps:
If you’re going to add them, set up a small skillet and brown the turkey sausage links per directions on a back burner.

Dice the potatoes. In a 10” oven-safe skillet (I recommend cast iron, about Size 8), heat the oil and sauté the potatoes for about 10 minutes on medium heat.

While that is cooking, snap the asparagus stalks at the natural breaking point. Put the bottom half in the compost bin and chop the upper half into bite-sized pieces. I cut mine at angles because I’m fancy; obviously you don’t have to do that. Chop the green onion and dice/press the garlic, while you’re at it. These three prepped items can be kept in the same bowl/plate. (I always organize my cooking by what ingredients are added at the same time, FYI.)

Crack the eggs into a larger metal bowl (shells to compost bin). Add the milk, mustard, salt, and pepper and whisk well.

When potatoes are done, add the asparagus, onions, and garlic and sauté for another 6-8 minutes or so. (Like my vagueness? I only do that when I’m cooking and I get it from my mum.) While those are cooking, dice the sausage (if adding). When potato/veggie mix is done, add sausage and mix up well.

Pour egg mixture into skillet. Occasionally push down the side of the pan with a spatula and tilt the pan to get runny egg mixture into the gap for better cooking. When there is still just a bit of uncooked egg on the top, add the feta cheese to the top of the mixture.

Put in oven on High broil for 3 minutes to finish cooking the top part and melt/partially brown the feta cheese. While the frittata is broiling, roll up the basil leaves and cut them into thin ribbons.

Remove from oven and sprinkle with the basil. Cut into slices and serve.
