Frittata Primavera

I wish that egg dishes were something that can be prepared the night before and thrown in the oven right away. I wish I could have time to make breakfast every morning, but I just haven't had the motivation yet.

Anyway, sorry for the rant. This recipe spoke to me because I love all the flavors in it. I definitely added a lot to the original recipe-ham, onion, tomato, and next time I would definitely add some mushrooms. I can't find the recipe on Taste of Home's website, which is weird, so I can't link to the original recipe. The flavors were great, even though I had some huge asparagus spears to deal with!
