This recipe features tender asparagus, sweet bell peppers, juicy cherry tomatoes, and a hint of creamy feta cheese, all bound together by fluffy eggs. It’s a versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, brunch, or even as a quick dinner, paired with a simple side salad or whole-grain toast.

For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 2 eggs
• 100 grams asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 30 grams finely chopped onions
• 30 grams diced bell peppers
• 20 grams halved cherry tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons milk (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 20 grams grated feta cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Salt, to taste
• Fresh herbs (parsley or basil), for garnish

Procedure:

1. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add the diced bell peppers and asparagus. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender but still crisp.
   Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for another minute.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Tilt the pan slightly to ensure the eggs are evenly distributed.
5. Cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set, but the center is still soft. If using, sprinkle grated cheese over the top.
6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
7. Once cooked, remove the skillet from the oven.
   Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing.
   Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
