Hi,
Oh, wow. OK, cut up the asparagus into about 1/2" long pieces. Sweat in a pan with just a little olive oil, starting with the stems and adding the softer parts last. About half way through, add some sliced mushrooms. Then throw in some crumbled bacon. Pour off any excess oil (I like it on bread). Mix a little milk with your eggs, whisk it till it's just slightly frothy. Pour mixture over the asparagus and mushrooms (and bacon), add some grated cheese of your choice, put in a 350-400 degree oven till the center is cooked (use the toothpick test). Salt and pepper to taste. Una fritata con fungi e asparagi. Yum!

When I was little, no matter how well washed, asparagus was gritty and full of sand. Back then eggs were white and now they're brown.
