Asparagus Frittata
New Media Publishing / Flat Art Studios.comAfter a long, cold winter, spring is finally here! Whip up this seasonally-inspired frittata for a quick and healthy weeknight meal.

Spring has Sprung Menu

Main: Asparagus frittata --Eggs and green vegetables are symbolic of Spring, and the addition of cottage cheese keeps this frittata creamy and tender. Feel free to substitute broccoli or Swiss chard for the asparagus.

Side dish: Lemon arugula salad.

Healthly Benefits

Asparagus is low in calories and high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. If you can't find fresh asparagus, feel free to substitute any spring vegetable such as leeks or swiss chard. And while eggs often get a bad rap, they are a great source of protein and other vital nutrients. Plus, most of us have them on hand at any given time. Pair this with a simple arugula salad for added fiber and a healthy dose of vitamin C. Serve with some crusty whole grain bread for a complete meal that's ready in under 30 minutes.
