With the fresh asparagus, this makes for a wonderful springtime meal.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Serve this springtime frittata for brunch or a special breakfast. Eggs provide a fluffy and creamy backdrop for the frittata filled with spring vegetables. Mushrooms and asparagus add an earthy flavor to the frittata. The tomatoes are bursting with sweetness and balance the other rich ingredients. You'd never guess there's cottage cheese in this. It adds a creamy texture, a hint of tang, and a bit of protein.
