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.
