Mâche and Asparagus Frittata

Serve with a simply dressed salad of Mâche, a good crusty baguette and a glass of Sauvignon Blanc or other fruity wine.

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
4 ounces Epic Roots Mâche, rinsed
8 large eggs
6 tablespoons milk or cream
1/2 bunch asparagus (about 8 spears), trimmed, blanched and cut into thirds
Sea salt and black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1 teaspoon finely chopped, fresh thyme

Serves: 4-6

Preheat oven to 350º. Heat olive oil in a medium sauté pan, add garlic and onion and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add Mâche, cook and stir for 2-3 minutes until wilted, set aside. Whisk together eggs and milk in a medium-sized bowl. Add Mâche mixture and asparagus. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Heat butter in a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat, add egg mixture, distribute the vegetables evenly throughout with a wooden spoon, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Place in preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes until cooked through. It will puff up and be lightly browned around the edges. Immediately turn over onto a large warm plate. Sprinkle fresh thyme on top. Cool slightly then cut into wedges.
