Springtime Frittata


 Spring is in the air.  We have had unseasonably warm weather lately and I have wanted to do nothing lately but get outside and enjoy it!  The trees are budding...the grass is getting greener...and fresh fruits and vegetables will soon be making appearances at the local farmers market.  
We are lucky enough to live near my husband's grandparents who live on a farm where we are able to get farm fresh eggs.  This savory springtime frittata features an array of fresh vegetables and eggs and the addition of  basil and feta gives it a touch of irresistible flavor.
