5. Crack the eggs into a bowl, and mix with parmesan cheese, cream, salt and pepper.
6. When well mixed pour over the asparagus.
7. Stir gently with a fork over a low flame, until you see the bottom of the frittata beginning to form.

This was a good recipe to build on. I did think it needed more flavor, so I added 1/2 tsp. of basil and topped it with mozzerella when it was done. This is a good recipe, but I really like it with some personal touches.

A lovely frittata - thanks for posting recipe. As I do not have an oven proof pan, I fried the asparagus, mixed all the other ingredients and put into a shallow pie dish and then baked in oven. Worked a treat and made a fantastic brunch!

good frittata, loved the asparagus/parmesan flavour. Just made half a recipe for the two of us and still had leftovers! we loved it and will make it again but we found it just a tiny bit heavy, it did puff up but fell and became a little heavy. Not sure why, but as I said the flavour was great! Thanks for posting!
