Asparagus Frittata

Mom loves her frittata pans from William Sonoma. She has two, a small set and a large set. For Christmas she put the large set to good use. This Asparagus Frittata is made with thin asparagus and both Gouda and Parmesan cheeses. It was the perfect addition to our Christmas Brunch.
