Asparagus Frittata

1 lb. lg. asparagus, cut into 1" pieces
2 tbsp. butter
1 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. olive oil
8 eggs
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese

Cook asparagus pieces slowly in oil & butter, just until tender in a 10" skillet with straight sides. Beat eggs in a bowl with salt & pepper. Pour gently over asparagus. Cook until just set. Sprinkle cheese on top of frittata.

Place in 350 degree oven, long enough for cheese to melt.

Allow frittata to stand for 2 minutes. Cut into wedges to serve.

Serves 6-8 people.
