Notes
I used to make breakfast burritos or poached eggs almost every morning — until I went to New York several times last year for work. Every time I go, I stay at the W Hotel at Union Square, where my friend Todd's restaurant, Olives, is in the lobby. I'm such a creature of habit — I quickly got hooked on the asparagus and ham frittata. I skip the ham and substitute spinach for the asparagus when I'm at home, but you can get creative with your combos. This frittata easily feeds all four of us.
