INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat oven to 350. Slice asparagus and leeks. Toss with 1 oz of olive oil and a pinch of salt.
- In a mixing bowl, paddle mozzarella cheese on medium with fresh herbs and Verde until incorporated. Scrape down sides of the bowl, turn back on and slowly temper in heavy cream. Paddle for 1 minute and stop.
- Turn oven down to 300. In a 10”-12” nonstick skillet, gently sauté the onions in the remaining 2 oz of oil.

- With a spatula, gently stir the egg mixture around while setting the outside of the frittata. Put in the oven and bake 15 minutes or until middle is set.
- Slide onto a serving platter and top the frittata with spooned out mozzarella cheese mixture.
