The frittata with wild asparagus is a simple yet flavorful dish, perfect in spring.
In this version I cooked it in the air fryer, obtaining a frittata that’s soft inside and lightly golden outside. Once ready I cut it into cubes, ideal to serve as a starter, aperitif or to enrich a buffet.
You can also bake it in the oven or cook it in a pan and serve it in wedges; it will be very tasty either way. The asparagus frittata is great hot or cold.
