A light and tasty frittata with cottage cheese, asparagus and dill!
A frittata is similar to a crustless quiche where eggs are mixed ingredients and baked until the eggs are set. In the spring I like to make them with fresh asparagus and this is my favorite recipe! This frittata is seasoned with parmesan, green onions and dill and cheese! (I tend to go for cottage cheese but I also enjoy shredded gruyere or crumble chevere!) This recipe is as easy as mixing all of the ingredients, pouring them into a pan and baking it!
