    Asparagus OmeletPin

    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!
