    This green veggie frittata is a gorgeous display of food and can be eaten for any meal!  Yes, frittatas are mainly consumed for a breakfast or brunch, but my family had this for dinner and devoured it.  If you can have it for dinner you can surely eat it for lunch.  This frittata is loaded with veggies and some parmesan cheese and can be on your table in 25 minutes.  The next time you decide to have breakfast for dinner just refer to it as, "B for D!"  That originated from one of my girlfriends and it's just so catchy it stuck 😉

    Ingredients for this green frittata

    You will need the following ingredients:

    1. 2 eggs, lightly beaten
    2. 4 egg whites
    3. 2 tbsp unsweetened vanilla almond milk
    4. 1 tsp fresh chives, chopped
    5. ¹⁄8 ground black pepper
    6. ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
    7. 2 tsp avocado oil
    8. ½ cup of 1 inch asparagus pieces
    9. ½ cup spinach, chopped
    10. 1 garlic clove, minced
    11. ¼ cup sliced green onions

    You will also need a cast iron skillet!  This is the one I own, Cast Iron Skillet!

    How to make this dish

    First, preheat your broiler to high heat.  In a small bowl combine eggs, egg whites, milk, chives, and pepper.  Stir in 2 tbsp of the cheese.  Then, in your 8 inch cast iron skillet heat on stove over medium high heat and add your oil.  Add your asparagus and green onions and cook stirring for 5 minutes.  Stir in the garlic and mix to combine.  Cook another 5 minutes.  Next, add in your spinach and cook until wilted; about another 2 to 3 minutes.  Pour in your egg mixture and reduce heat to low and cover.  Cook for another 10 to 12 minutes or until almost cooked through.  Stir in the remaining 2 tbsp of cheese.  Place under broiler for 1 to 2 minutes; until cheese is crispy
