Ingredients

  • 8 ounces asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 4 ounces cherry tomatoes or grape tomatoes, halved

  • Cooking spray

  • 2 cups refrigerated or frozen egg product, thawed, or 8 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 cup fat-free cottage cheese

  • ¼ cup finely chopped red onion

  • 2 tablespoons flour

  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary

  • ¼ teaspoon ground pepper

  • ¼ cup finely grated Asiago cheese (1 ounce)

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange asparagus and tomatoes, cut sides up, in a single layer in a 15x10-inch baking pan. Coat vegetables with cooking spray. Roast, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until browned and tomatoes are soft. Set aside and let cool.

  2. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F. Combine egg, cottage cheese, onion, flour, rosemary, and pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir in the asparagus and tomatoes.

  3. Coat a 9-inch deep dish pie plate with cooking spray. Pour egg mixture into the prepared pie plate. Bake, uncovered, about 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with cheese. Serve immediately.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
