--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1      Lb.           asparagus
   1      Large         carrot
   2      Tbsp.         salad oil
   6                    eggs
     1/4  Lb.           Mozzarella cheese -- shredded (1 c.)
     1/4  Tsp.          dried thyme leaves

Discard tough ends and trim scales from asparagus;
reserve a few whole asparagus for garnish. Cut remaining
asparagus into bite-sized pieces. Cut carrots diagonally into
thin slices. In 10-inch skillet over medium heat in hot salad
oil, cook asparagus and carrots until tender-crisp, stirring
occasionally. Meanwhile, in medium bowl, with fork or wire
whisk, beat eggs, cheese and thyme. Stir egg mixture into
skillet with vegetables, tilting to coat bottom of skillet
evenly with egg mixture and blend with vegetables. Arrange
whole asparagus on top of egg mixture to form a pretty design.
Over medium heat, cook 5 to 7 minutes until eggs are set,
occasionally tilting skillet and lifting edge of cooked egg
mixture to let uncooked portion run into skillet. To serve,
cut frittata into wedges. Serve immediately. Makes 4 main
dish servings.
