# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch springform pan or deep pie dish with butter or cooking spray.
02 - Arrange sourdough slices to fully line the bottom and sides of the pan, overlapping slightly. Brush with melted butter. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes until just crisp. Remove and set aside.
03 - Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté shallot for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes until softened. Add asparagus and sauté for 2 to 3 additional minutes. Remove from heat.
04 - In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, Gruyère, Parmesan, chives, salt, and pepper until well combined.
05 - Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly over the sourdough crust. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
06 - Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden and the center is just set. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
07 - Serve warm or at room temperature.
