Asparagus & Zucchini Frittata

bluemoon downunder's Note:

A yummy frittata. When making this, I've used a herb grinder which has in it a wonderful combination of rosemary and sage, so if you like sage, you may want to add a bit of sage as well. Alternatively, you could add other herbs such as oregano, marjoram or thyme. Obviously you may also use more or less cloves of garlic - depending on your taste preferences.

There are elements of this that I love and some that are discordant, so I am not noting stars this time. Although rosemary is my favorite herb, I learned here that I don't like it with eggs. The addition of walnuts is brilliant...just wonderful. I would have preferred my potatoes more thinly sliced than I had them (which was about 3/8 of an inch). The major issue I had was uncertainty about the pan size. The amount of vegetables prompted me to use a baking dish about 10x10 inches and the 4 eggs (plus cream and cheese) didn't come close to the top...neither did 6 eggs. I do plan to make this again, with some adjustments.
