Spring Frittata Asparagus Peas Cheese (Printable Version)

Vibrant frittata with spring veggies, goat cheese, and fresh herbs—great for brunch or a light meal.

# Components:

→ 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 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

→ Herbs & Seasoning

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

# Method Steps:

01 - Set the oven temperature to 375°F and allow it to preheat.
02 - Melt the butter in a 10–12 inch oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and cook for 2 minutes; then add the peas and spring onions, sautéing for another 2 minutes until vegetables are bright and just tender. Stir in the chopped spinach and cook until wilted.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, chives, dill or parsley, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
04 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, allowing the edges to set while the center remains slightly runny.
05 - Scatter the crumbled goat cheese evenly atop the egg and vegetable mixture.
06 - Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until the center is puffed and just set.
07 - Remove the skillet from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The goat cheese melts just enough to create pockets of creaminess—like hidden treasures in every bite.
  • This frittata is both hearty and light, making it ideal for brunch that won’t leave you sluggish.
02 -
  • Don’t rush the veg: if you add the spinach before asparagus is tender, the texture will be uneven.
  • Goat cheese that’s too cold doesn’t crumble well—let it come to room temperature for easier mixing.
03 -
  • Using an oven-safe nonstick skillet ensures zero sticking and beautiful slices every time.
  • Swirling butter in the pan before adding veggies helps build a golden base that is surprisingly flavorful.
