Bacon Frittata with Sun Dried Tomato Pesto

Frittatas are one of my favorite breakfasts. They are so fun to get creative with, and easy to make. They are also great as a prep ahead breakfast, or to take to a brunch. For this one I wanted to use a Sun dried Tomato pesto, which is delicious with eggs. Then I paired it with caramelized onion, asparagus and bacon. The flavors went together beautifully.
