0

Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups fresh cut asparagus (1- to 1 ½-inch pieces)
- ½ teaspoon fresh basil, finely chopped, optional garnish
- ½ cup (4 ounces) reduced-fat white cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 large eggs
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- ¼ cup 1% low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 5 cups fresh spinach leaves, loosely packed
Instructions
Preheat oven broiler.. Place asparagus and water in glass pie plate or bowl, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high 3 minutes, or until asparagus is tender-crisp and still bright green.. Whisk eggs, egg whites, milk, salt and pepper in large bowl until blended; set aside.. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in oven-proof 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and sauté 1 minute.. Stir in spinach and cook, stirring constantly, until spinach is slightly wilted, about 1 minute.. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in cooked asparagus along with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.. Pour egg mixture in skillet and stir gently to evenly distribute ingredients. Cook until eggs are almost set, about 8 to 11 minutes. (Eggs will still be runny on top, but set on sides and bottom.). Remove frittata from heat, sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese, and place skillet in oven, about 6-7 inches from heat source. Broil until the center is firm and cheese is completely melted, about 1 to 2 minutes.. Remove and sprinkle with fresh basil if desired. Cut into 6 wedges.

Tips & Variations
Timing is key
Prepare ingredients the night before for a stress-free morning cooking experience.
Temperature matters
Let eggs come to room temperature before cooking for more even results.
Al dente pasta
Cook pasta until it's still slightly firm - it will continue cooking in the sauce.
