Asparagus Frittata Recipe #92179
Delicious for a light vegetarian supper/brunch with spinach salad and fruit for desert. The prep time includes cutting up vegetables and cooking the asparagus. As a time saver I shred the cheese in a food processor and (after taking out 1/2 cup cheese) then the carrots in the same food processor bowl -- they are both added to the other ingredients at the same time.
