Asparagus Frittata
The Asparagus Frittata features fresh asparagus, mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes combined with four cheeses—mozzarella, cheddar, Parmesan, and feta—for a rich, layered flavor. Baked until lightly golden and puffed, this frittata offers a tender, savory egg base with a slightly crisp cheese topping, suitable for a satisfying brunch or light dinner.
