Father's Day Fritatta

INGREDIENTS:

• 12 fresh eggs (We love pasture-raised. They’re just yummy)
• 1/3 half and half
• 2 Tbsp water 
• 2 Tbsp Milanese Gremolata Premium Olive Oil
• 1 Tbsp Butter Premium Olive Oil
• 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 medium red onion chopped
• 1 bunch asparagus, washed, ends trimmed and chopped to 1” pieces
• 8 oz baby bella mushrooms brushed clean or pre-chopped
• 2 minced garlic cloves (by all means, get the pre-peeled)
• 1/2 cup fresh basil, shredded
• ½ cup fresh thyme, de-stemmed
• 4 ounces gruyere cheese - shredded
• 2 oz Boursin® Garlic & Fine Herbs Cheese
• 1 Tbsp Mediterranean Spice Blend
• 1 tsp salt 
• 1 tsp pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position or about 6” from broiler. 
• In a glass microwave safe container with lid, add asparagus and ¼ cup water. Microwave on high for 4 minutes. Remove and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
• Whisk eggs, half and half, and water together in a bowl. Whisk in gruyere, shredded basil, thyme, salt, pepper and spice blend and set aside.
• Turn on your oven’s broiler.
• Heat non-stick skillet on stove to medium and add Gremolata and Butter olive oil
• Add chopped red onions and stir to let sweat for 5 minutes. 
• Add mushrooms and garlic and saute’ for another 5-7 minutes until soft. Set aside
• Heat 12” Cast Iron Skillet on medium high heat for about 2-3 minutes. Add oil and heat until shimmering. 
• Add your onion and mushroom mixture and your asparagus to the pan and stir
• Give the egg mixture a quick stir and add to the pan. Using a heat-resistant rubber spatula, lightly shake pan and stir mixture at the same time until eggs form large curds - about 1-2 minutes (eggs should still be moist)
• Remove from heat and top with dollops of Boursin® cheese. 
• Transfer skillet to the oven and broil until the center of the frittata is puffed, the Boursin® is bubbly and the top is starting to brown. About 3 minutes. 
• Remove and let set. Can be served at room temperature. We recommend topping with our White Balsamic Arugula Salad.

Serves 8 as a side, 4 as a main course.
