Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven broiler. Heat the oil into a large ovenproof skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add onion and salt and stir until onion has softened but not browned, about 3 minutes. Add asparagus; reduce heat to medium-low, cover and cook until asparagus is barely tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Pour in egg substitute and cook until almost set but still runny on top, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over eggs and broil until cheese is melted and browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Slide frittata onto a serving platter and cut into wedges.

SERVING SUGGESTION: Serve steamed kale and steamed baby carrots on the side.
