A quick and easy brunch recipe featuring a crispy crust, fresh spring vegetables, and tangy goat cheese for a flavorful and healthy meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 4 ounces crumbled goat cheese
  • 1 cup fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 3/4 cup fresh or frozen peas (if frozen, thawed)
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (white and green parts)
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or half-and-half (can substitute almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (chives or parsley)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, avoiding browning.
  3. Add asparagus and peas; cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until asparagus is tender but crisp and peas are warmed through.
  4. Stir in scallions and spinach; cook for another 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts slightly. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, lemon zest, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, tilting to distribute evenly.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly on top.
  8. Cook on the stove for 3-4 minutes until edges set and start to crisp but center is not fully cooked.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 12-15 minutes until the top is puffed and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted near the center should come out clean.
  10. Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing into wedges. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Pre-cook vegetables to avoid sogginess. Use an oven-safe skillet to get a crispy crust. Tent with foil if browning too fast. Let rest before slicing for best texture.
