A bright and creamy frittata featuring fresh spring vegetables and tangy goat cheese, perfect for a quick and delicious brunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk or half-and-half
  • 4 ounces (115 g) goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup snap peas, strings removed
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons mixed fresh herbs (chives, parsley, tarragon), chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: squeeze of fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim and chop asparagus into 1-inch pieces, remove snap pea strings, and thinly slice green onions. Chop fresh herbs and set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. When shimmering, add asparagus and snap peas. Sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  4. Add green onions and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat temporarily.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs and 1/4 cup whole milk or half-and-half until well combined and slightly frothy.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, gently stirring to distribute evenly.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until eggs have set but the center still has a slight wobble.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Sprinkle with fresh herbs and optionally add red pepper flakes or lemon juice.
  10. Serve warm, ideally with crusty bread or a light salad.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Avoid overcooking vegetables to keep their crunch. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil. Let the frittata rest before slicing for cleaner cuts. Can substitute goat cheese with vegan cheese for dairy-free option. If no oven-safe skillet, cook on stovetop then finish under broiler.
