My Sicilian Aunt Paulina inspired this fluffy frittata. I remember visiting her garden, picking fresh veggies and watching her cook. Her wild asparagus frittata was my favorite. -Cindy Esposito, Bloomfield, New Jersey

This frittata is a great make-ahead breakfast or lunch. I often make it on the weekend and then reheat it throughout the week.

This frittata is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I often add whatever vegetables I have on hand, and it always turns out delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my frittata didn't turn out as well as I hoped. It was a bit dry and overcooked.

This frittata was a bit too bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more herbs or spices to the recipe.

I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms, but I really enjoyed this frittata. The asparagus and cheese balanced out the flavor of the mushrooms perfectly.

I love this frittata! It's so versatile, and I can always find something to add to it. I've made it with spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and even leftover roasted potatoes.

This frittata was delicious! I used a variety of mushrooms, including shiitake, oyster, and cremini, and they all worked well. The asparagus was also perfectly cooked, and the overall flavor was savory and satisfying.
