asparagus frittata

3 Red Potatoes scrubbed, quartered, and roasted

1 Bunch of asparagus, tough ends trimmed

3 Tablespoons of olive oil

4 Green onions trimmed, chopped

4 Tablespoons of your favorite pesto (try my spring pesto recipe for this it was yummy)

10 Large eggs (get to your local farmers market or farmer for these)

3 Tablespoons of water

1/2 Teaspoon of sea salt

1/4 Teaspoon fresh ground pepper

*either 1 cup diced fresh mozzarella or other cheese  OR  healthier option 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (this is what I used and it was delicious we did not even miss the cheese)

Heat oven to 350 degrees

Cut asparagus into 1 inch lengths. Heat olive oil in a 12 inch cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook until fork tender (2-3 minutes). Add green onions and cook several seconds. Remove from heat. Add potatoes, if using cheese sprinkle over vegetables now.

Whisk together eggs, water, salt, pepper, and pesto. Mix throughly.

Return skillet to low burner and pour egg mix over vegetables. Cook until bottom is nearly set about 3 minutes. Transfer to oven and cook until knife inserted in center comes out clean about 20 minutes.
