SPRING HERB FRITTATA

The Garden State grows a large selection of herbs such as basil, mint, parsley, cilantro and so on.
Since we are in spring season, I decided to add aroma and flavors to my frittata by using variety of local grown herbs which pair very well with the satisfying flavor and the richness of the eggs.
