Asparagus Tomato Frittata
You may notice that I like frittatas. They are the Italian version of an omelet, and there's no folding involved. So, it's an easier way to have a special breakfast—and so beautiful! The eggs fluff up, and it only takes about 30 minutes, start to finish, to make a frittata.
I especially liked the asparagus in this frittata, but you can use just about any vegetable you like to make one. We had fresh asparagus that needed to be used, so we used that, along with a bit of onion, some red bell pepper, and some grape tomatoes.
The asparagus stayed a bit crisp and it was perfect. We garnished it with sliced grape tomatoes.
I used a 10-inch cast iron skillet to make this Asparagus Tomato Frittata. It's the perfect size for two servings. Try it. I know you're going to want to eat this. But you might want to get some cast iron skillets if you don't already have them. They are terrific!
