Breakfast can be quite challenging... especially on weekends... when you're not in the mood for toast or porridge, the kids are nagging, and you are not in the mood for hours in front of the stove or even 30 minutes of hard work.
That's what I love about Frittatas. It's filling, easy to make, little effort and healthy! Plus, you can make it with almost anything you have on hand. The possibilities are endless. Basically if you have cheese and eggs, you're halfway there.
I've had this tin of asparagus in my cupboard for ages, wanting to make a quiche. But this morning I decided to make the frittata instead.
This is very delicious and I hope your family enjoys it as much as mine did.
