In our zeal for the return of farmers markets, we snagged one too many bunches of fresh spring asparagus last weekend. Tonight, we’re turning to a classic “use up extra produce” recipe – a frittata. Though this recipe calls for a jar of white asparagus, you can easily substitute fresh white or green asparagus, too. Just be sure to trim the tough woody ends from the spears before you toss them in with sauteed potato, garlic, onion, egg whites and a generous handful of fontina cheese. Bake, then broil the top to a golden-brown for a meat-free masterpiece. Get the recipe here.
