Print Recipe

A quick and easy frittata featuring fresh spring vegetables and creamy goat cheese, perfect for a satisfying brunch or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup peas, fresh or frozen
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (optional: chopped chives or parsley)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the vegetables: trim and cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces, slice the green onions thinly, and roughly chop the spinach.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the asparagus and sauté for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still bright green.
  4. Add peas and green onions to the skillet, stirring occasionally for another 2 minutes until tender.
  5. Toss in the spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Remove the skillet from heat.
  6. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  7. Gently fold in the crumbled goat cheese and fresh herbs (if using) into the egg mixture.
  8. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Give the pan a little shake to level everything out.
  9. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  10. Let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing to help the frittata firm up and make serving easier.

Notes

Do not overcook the vegetables; keep them tender but vibrant. Whisk eggs with milk for a silkier texture. Use an oven-safe skillet for best results or transfer to a baking dish if unavailable. Let the frittata rest 5 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
