6 of the best... spring frittatas for a fuss-free dinner packed with flavour

It’s the time of year when delicious veg like asparagus and beans are at their best.

SPRING BRINGS sunshine, new growth and all of the fresh flavours that come with them – so what’s not to love? Vegetables like asparagus, spring onions, peppers, broad beans and new potatoes are just a few of the edible wonders of the season.

Eggs are a fantastic way to use up anything leftover in the fridge, and make a very wholesome, protein-packed dinner. They’re also very economical, so the obvious choice when looking for a quick yet healthy midweek meal.

Whether you’re looking for a fuss free brunch, lunch of dinner, a frittata is a great way to get creative with those eggs in the fridge. We’ve listed some of our favourite recipes below.
