Print Recipe

A quick, easy, and protein-packed frittata featuring lean egg whites and fresh asparagus, perfect for muscle-building and clean eating.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large egg whites (about 180 ml)
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus (12–15 stalks), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (parsley or chives, optional)
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep your ingredients: rinse asparagus, trim tough ends, cut into 1-inch pieces; mince garlic; separate or measure egg whites.
  2. Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add asparagus pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp and brightened in color, about 4 minutes.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg whites with a pinch of salt and pepper until slightly frothy.
  5. Pour egg whites evenly over cooked asparagus in the skillet. Reduce heat to low and cook without stirring until edges set and center begins to firm, about 4-5 minutes.
  6. If using an oven-safe skillet, place under preheated broiler for 2-3 minutes to set the top and lightly brown. Otherwise, cover skillet with a lid and steam on low heat until fully set.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped herbs and grated Parmesan if using. Let rest for a minute before slicing.
  8. Serve warm, cut into wedges.

Notes

Pat asparagus dry before cooking to avoid excess moisture. Whisk egg whites until just frothy for a fluffy texture. Use low heat to prevent burning and cover skillet if no broiler is available. Fresh herbs brighten the dish. Avoid flipping the frittata to keep it intact.
