• STEP 7.Serve the Easter frittata warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a side salad. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Cooking Tips

• Make sure to trim the tough ends of the asparagus before cooking.
• Feel free to customize the herbs according to your preference. Basil, tarragon, or mint can also be great additions.
• If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can transfer the cooked asparagus to a greased baking dish before pouring the egg mixture.
• For a richer flavor, you can use half-and-half or heavy cream instead of milk in the egg mixture.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover frittata can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place a slice of frittata in a microwave-safe dish and heat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until warmed through.
• Serve the frittata as a main course for brunch or dinner, or cut it into smaller pieces and serve as an appetizer or side dish.
• Garnish with additional fresh herbs before serving for an extra pop of color and flavor.
