Breakfast Frittata with Asparagus, Baby Spinach and Potato
I LOVE eggs! So much so that I often have them for dinner. Although this recipe is called breakfast frittata, you can certainly have it for dinner! Serve it with some arugula greens on the side. If you make it for breakfast, you could serve it with some fresh berries. It's super easy and great if you have overnight guests! Use whatever veggies you have in your fridge. I had some asparagus that would have not been so great if I didn't use it up today. Same with the spinach. I hate throwing food out! I would have used a vidalia onion, but I didn't have one so I used a shallot instead. Again, use what you have. To make this for a larger crowd you could double the recipe and still use the same pan. The frittata will come out much thicker and be more filling - you'll be able to cut it into smaller wedges. On the other hand, you could use 2 pans and do each one differently! Maybe do one with kale, sausage and cheese. Just a thought!
