Brunch-Ready Smoked Gouda Asparagus Frittata

During springtime and every brunch I throw, I make sure to have a frittata present. They come together in about 10 minutes and are so easy to throw together. This one starts on the stove to cook the asparagus spears a bit. They really do need that three minutes extra to cook on the stove.

While they’re cooking away, I whisk together the rest of the ingredients together. Smoked gouda is one of my favorite cheeses ever because it has this subtle smokiness that works so well with basically anything. It adds depth of flavor without being overly powering. I also love to add a bit of freshness to the top of frittatas by adding a quickly mixed salad or, in this case, micro greens I got from the grocery store.
