Asparagus and Goat Cheese Frittata

When I put these ingredients in my rice cooker, I knew the flavors would complement each other, but I wondered what the dish would look like. It was lovely! The soft, melting goat cheese mingled with the asparagus and creamy eggs. The frittata makes a great light supper or lunch dish; serve it with a fruit salad.

Ingredients

Serves 2–3

1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp spring onion or green onion, white part only, finely chopped
1/2 lb asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1/2-in/12-mm pieces
4 large eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp Tabasco sauce
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Set a medium rice cooker to the regular cycle or to quick cook if it's a fuzzy-logic machine. Heat the olive oil and sauté the spring onion for 1 minute. Add the asparagus and cook for another 3 minutes, or until the asparagus begins to soften. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, salt, and Tabasco. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus and sprinkle with the goat cheese.

    Step 2

    Cover the rice cooker and reset to the regular cycle. The frittata will take 3 to 4 minutes to cook. Allow it to continue steaming, covered, for an additional 6 minutes on the keep-warm setting or with the machine turned off. (Many rice cookers, including all fuzzy-logic machines, do this automatically.) Serve warm or at room temperature.

  • I have the same question - will it work in a pan in the Instant Pot. Set on 3 min and then nature release for 6?

  • Added a little left-over cooked rice. Not having a rice cooker, I started frittata on the stovetop and finished under the broiler of my toaster oven. Hubby enjoyed and there is a little leftover to pack for our lunches tomorrow.

  • This recipe looks so good. Can someone answer this question. I have an Instant Pot which has a Rice function key would this be similar to a rice cooker.

  • YUM!! I added bacon to this recipe and double all the ingredients. Other change was that I baked it at 360 degrees for 30 minutes in a cast iron skillet. Also didn't have Tabasco so I used cayenne pepper. LOVED it!!
