Wild Rice, Asparagus, and Goat Cheese Frittata

The below frittata recipe is a favorite of mine. I usually make this for lunch and it lasts me all week but it would also be a perfect dish to serve company for brunch. I love that you can adjust the ingredients depending on what you already have in your refrigerator or based on what is in season at the grocery store or farmers market.
