Asparagus, Canadian Bacon and Cheese Frittata

Ingredients

 * 5 large eggs
 * 4 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan
 * 2 tablespoons milk
 * ¼ teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
 * 1 teaspoon kosher salt
 * freshly ground black pepper
 * 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
 * 4 ounces medium asparagus stalks (about 8), woody stems trimmed, cut into ½-inch pieces
 * 4 medium slices canadian bacon (about 2 ounces), coarsely chopped

Directions

 * 1) Position an oven rack in the upper part of the oven and preheat the broiler.
 * 2) Whisk the eggs, 3 tablespoons of the cheese, the milk, lemon zest, salt, and pepper to taste together in a bowl.
 * 3) Heat the olive oil in an 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat.
 * 4) Add the asparagus and canadian bacon, and cook until the asparagus is crisp-tender, about 4 minutes.
 * 5) Reduce heat to low, pour the egg mixture into the skillet, stirring gently to distribute the fillings evenly.
 * 6) Cover, and cook until the bottom sets, but does not get too brown, about 9 minutes.
 * 7) Remove the cover, scatter the remaining 1 tablespoon of cheese over the surface.
 * 8) Run the frittata under the broiler until the top sets and browns slightly, about 1 minute.
 * 9) Set aside for about 5 minutes before unmolding.
 * 10) Slip the frittata out of the pan onto a cutting board, cut into wedges.
 * 11) Serve warm or room temperature.
