Asparagus-Mushroom Frittata
My Sicilian Aunt Paulina inspired this fluffy frittata. I remember visiting her garden, picking fresh veggies and watching her cook. Her wild asparagus frittata was my favorite. —Cindy Esposito, Bloomfield, New Jersey

Looks delicious! I must try!
I was really looking forward to this recipe, but it was really liquidy.. I think from the frozen asparagus? I cooked it too.. so I'm not sure what else it could be from. Otherwise it was good, just took so long to cook and had to ladel out some of the liqued in the middle.
Frittata is my new favorite egg dish - it cooks without needing constant attention!We used a little less onion and a little more mushroom (creminis) as a matter of personal taste and added a little garlic.
Lovely frittata! I used button mushrooms instead of portobello but it's a beautiful dish! Thank you for your recipe!
