signs of spring! farmer jo welcomes asparagus by Joanna Piatek | 1 2 3 4
continued from page 3

This is a great fast dinner. Whip this up and serve with French bread and a big salad. Then take it outside to enjoy the longer evenings, or at least open a window.

Asparagus and Brie Frittata
2 cups cut asparagus
4 green onions, chopped
1-Tablespoon butter
6 eggs
½ teaspoon salt
1/3 cup Milk
½ cup Brie or sliced Munster cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Over medium high heat melt butter and sauté asparagus and green onions until tender, about 4 minutes. Meanwhile whisk eggs, salt and milk together. Pour the egg mixture into a buttered 9x9-baking dish (or similar-sized oven-proof container) and top with asparagus mixture. Bake 5 minutes. Remove from oven and top with cheese. You can’t really spread Brie, so just dollop it evenly over the eggs. Put it back in the oven for about another 5-7 minutes. It is ready to come out of the oven with the eggs are set, and the cheese melted and a little toasted on the edges.

Joanna Piatek is enjoying the spring and still trying to figure out why asparagus makes your pee smell like asparagus. Is there a medical explanation for this?
