Asparagus Frittata
It’s asparagus season! Ok, we might be rushing things just slightly, but here in Lancaster County we have experienced an unusually warm winter and it feels like asparagus should be at the height of the season.
One of my friends often says that asparagus season is her favorite season of the year. When it starts to grow locally, she will eat it for almost every meal, including breakfast!
Asparagus season is the start of the growing season in our area. The next few months will bring luscious, colorful harvests of great vegetables at roadside stands or at our Central Market. It is a time of year when we are able to really get “back to nature” and enjoy freshness after the many imported or preserved vegetables of winter.
So, to help my friend celebrate her favorite season of the year, we strayed from the slow cooker today and made this breakfast frittata.
