I am a big fan of eggs in all forms and I absolutely love asparagus, so last week I made these asparagus and caramelized onions frittatas with a mix of cheeses and fresh herbs for breakfast and we loved it. For those who are unfamiliar with frittatas, they are defined as: an Italian dish made with fried beaten eggs, resembling a spanish tortilla (omelet).
Feel free to substitute my cheeses, herbs and vegetables for your favorite ones instead.
Enjoy!

Frittatas are my favorite clean-out-the-fridge meal. You can basically put anything in them!
I love the asparagus and caramelized onion combo. Perfection.

I make frittata and tortilla all the time–depending on the ingredients, I call it one or the other. I start them on top of the stove and finish them in the oven, but no matter how they’re made, they’re so delicious. I enjoy them as much for dinner as for brunch.
Maria says
That sounds great! Asparagus goes so well with eggs and I really like all the cheeses you’ve used and the fresh herbs you’ve added–I am sure they make all the difference.
