Method

  • 1. Pour boiling water over asparagus in a heatproof bowl, stand for 2 minutes; drain.

  • 2. Meanwhile, whisk eggs, milk and cheese in a large jug; season.

  • 3. Heat oil in an 18cm frying pan over medium heat. Add egg mixture; cook for 3 minutes, scraping edge of the mixture into centre of pan. Top with chunks of ricotta, asparagus, tomato and green onion; season. Cook frittata, covered with a lid or foil, over low-medium heat for 6 minutes or until egg is just set.

  • 4. Cut into wedges; serve warm, sprinkled with extra green onion, if you like.

  • Tips:

  • This recipe is a great way to use up leftover meat, sausages, chicken and cooked vegetables. Heat the leftover ingredients in the pan first in step 3 before adding the egg mixture.

  • Use baby spinach leaves, cooked zucchini or broccoli florets in place of the asparagus, if you like.
