Notes

How can my kids help? 
Have kids mix the egg mixture and teach them how to cut the the asparagus using a kid-friendly knife. They can also add in the spices. 
How to store this dish. 
Once your frittata has cooled completely you can store it in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. When you're ready to eat a slice, pop it in the microwave and eat it warm!
Use a cast iron skillet. This type of skillet is the best choice when making frittatas. Cast iron skillets can easily go from the stovetop to the oven which is how you make this healthy veggie frittata.
How to know when your frittata is done cooking. You want to cook your frittata until your eggs are just done and not runny any longer. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your dish and how many eggs and veggies you use, so watch it carefully!
