SPRING FRITTATA

You do not need an ovenproof skillet for this delicious frittata. Substitute zucchini or other veggies for the asparagus if you like and increase the amount of veggies if desired.

1/2 cup chopped leek (white portion only)
1/2 cup cut fresh asparagus (1 inch pieces), increase if desired
2 tsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup shredded Asiago cheese
4 eggs
1 cup egg substitute (I usually just increase the Omega 3 eggs to 5)
1/4 cup fat-free milk (I use almond milk which works fine)
1 Tbsp. snipped fresh dill or 1 tsp. dill weed
1 Tbsp. minced fresh parsley or 1 tsp. dried parsley flakes

In small bowl, combine leek and asparagus. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt/pepper; toss to coat. Transfer to a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake at 400 for 20-25 min or until tender, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to 350.
Place mushrooms on the bottom of a 9 in. deep dish pie plate coated with cooking spray. Top with roasted veggies and cheese. In a large bowl, whisk remaining ingredients; pour over cheese.
Bake for 30-35 min. or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes. Cut into wedges.
