Breakfast is a meal that I only spend any amount of time on when Ben doesn't have to go in to the office. Otherwise, we typically eat a quick bowl of cereal, drink a green monster smoothie, or whip up scrambled eggs and toast. We're lucky, however, to live right down the road from where Ben works, so he gets to come home for lunch pretty much every day. I didn't want to wait any longer to make this frittata, so I served it up for lunch the other day.
I used this frittata wrap recipe, but chose to make the baked cheese frittata instead. Sliced into wedges, it was enough to feed the three of us with leftovers, and gave us a good fill of our veggies. I added in some prosciutto that I needed to use up, so it wasn't completely vegetarian, but you can easily make any of your own alterations, as well.

Swiss Veggie Frittata
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2 cups cut fresh asparagus spears (¾-inch pieces)
- 1 small red bell pepper , diced
- ¼ cup chopped shallots
- 2 cloves garlic , minced or pressed
- 6 large eggs
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
