Servings: 4

Ingredients

Eggs
8 large
Salt
1/2 teaspoon
Black pepper
1/4 teaspoon
Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Onion
1 small, diced
Asparagus
1 cup, chopped into 1-inch pieces
Pastrami
6 ounces, chopped
Cheddar cheese
1 cup, shredded

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
  4. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion is translucent and fragrant.
  5. Stir in the chopped pastrami and asparagus, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until the asparagus is tender yet still bright green.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the pastrami and asparagus in the skillet, ensuring all ingredients are well-distributed.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the egg mixture.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, set in the center, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Allow the frittata to cool in the skillet for a few minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm and enjoy!
