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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 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 (thawed if frozen)
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chives or parsley), chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream (whole milk or half-and-half)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter over medium heat in an oven-safe skillet. Add asparagus and cook for about 3 minutes until slightly softened but still crisp.
  3. Add peas, green onions, and minced garlic (if using), cooking for another 2 minutes until fragrant and tender.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 8 eggs, 1/4 cup milk or cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Tilt the pan to distribute eggs evenly.
  6. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly on top without stirring.
  7. Cook on the stove over medium-low heat for 3 to 4 minutes until edges start to set but center is still loose.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until puffed, firm to the touch, and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to finish setting.
  10. Sprinkle chopped fresh herbs over the top, slice into wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better fluffiness. If the frittata browns too quickly on top but is still jiggly in the center, tent loosely with foil and continue baking. Let the frittata rest before slicing for cleaner cuts. For dairy-free, substitute goat cheese with vegan cheese or omit cheese entirely.
