Method

1
On a plate, drizzle the asparagus in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roll the asparagus round on the plate so that the seasoning sticks
2
Grill the asparagus on the barbecue or under a hot grill for approximately 3-4 minutes - be careful not to overcook as you want the spears to retain a bit of crunch
3
Crack the eggs into 4 separate bowls - 2 per bowl. Whip the eggs with a fork until foamy. Add salt, pepper and chopped mint to each bowl
4
Place a very small frying pan over a medium heat and add oil and butter. Pour in 1 bowl of the whipped egg mixture and stir quickly with the back of a fork
  • 1 tbsp of vegetable oil
  • 10g of butter
5
After approximately 1 minute, or when the frittata is half set, arrange some asparagus and soft cheese on top
  • 38g of low fat cream cheese
6
Lower the heat and cook for another minute. Carefully slide the frittata onto a plate. Repeat the process to make the rest of the frittatas
  • 3 tbsp of vegetable oil
  • 30g of butter
  • 112g of low fat cream cheese
7
To finish, grind some black pepper over the frittatas and drizzle in a little olive oil. Serve immediately
