Spring Frittata Asparagus Peas Goat (Print version)

Vibrant frittata with asparagus, peas, goat cheese, and herbs for a light Mediterranean brunch or main dish.

# What You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
02 - 3/4 cup fresh or frozen peas
03 - 2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
04 - 2 spring onions, thinly sliced

→ Eggs & Dairy

05 - 8 large eggs
06 - 1/4 cup whole milk or cream
07 - 3 oz goat cheese, crumbled
08 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter

→ Herbs & Seasoning

09 - 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
10 - 1 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, chopped
11 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How-To Steps:

01 - Set oven temperature to 375°F.
02 - Melt butter in a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook for 2 minutes, then stir in peas and spring onions. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until vegetables are bright and just tender. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, chives, dill or parsley, salt, and pepper until fully blended.
04 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Allow to cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes, until edges are set and center remains slightly runny.
05 - Scatter crumbled goat cheese evenly over the surface of the eggs and vegetables.
06 - Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until puffed and just set in the center.
07 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Tips from the pros:

01 -
  • It feels like spring on your plate, even if it's still chilly outside.
  • Each bite is a balance of creamy, bright, and herby flavors that's effortless yet impressive.
02 -
  • Greasy pans or cold eggs will hinder the fluffiness — always start with a clean, warm skillet and room-temperature eggs.
  • Cutting the asparagus too thick means it will stay tough, so keep pieces small for even cooking.
03 -
  • Keep heat moderate so eggs don't brown too quickly and stay tender.
  • Whisk eggs with a splash of cream for ultra-smooth custard — it's the secret that keeps the frittata creamy, not rubbery.
