Six to eight first-course or four main-course servings

Preparation

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/8 teaspoon of thepepper. Mix in the Parmesan cheese. Set aside.
2. Melt the butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the morels, season them with 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, add pepper to taste and saute until they begin to soften, about 2 1/2 minutes. Add the asparagus and cook just until warmed through, about 1 minute.
3. Pour in the egg mixture and lower the heat to medium. Use a rubber spatula to cut the mixture in the center, pushing back the solid ingredients and letting the raw egg run to the bottom of the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes. Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
4. Uncover and loosen the frittata with a spatula. Slide it out onto a plate, cover the plate with the skillet and invert the frittata back into the skillet. Cook just until set on the bottom, about 1 minute. Cut the frittata into wedges and serve with a green salad.
