Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 oz creamy goat cheese, softened
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup peas, fresh or frozen
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream (optional, can use dairy-free milk)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the vegetables: trim and slice asparagus into 1-inch pieces, thinly slice green onions, and chop parsley and chives.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.
  4. Add peas and green onions to the skillet and sauté for another 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk or cream if using until fully combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Crumble softened goat cheese into the egg mixture and stir gently to distribute. Fold in chopped parsley and chives, reserving a pinch for garnish.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Gently shake the pan to spread evenly.
  8. Cook undisturbed on the stovetop over medium-low heat for about 4 minutes until edges begin to set but center is still jiggly.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with reserved herbs before slicing into wedges and serving.

Notes

Do not overcook the vegetables to keep their crispness. Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Ensure skillet handle is oven-safe or transfer to a baking dish before oven cooking. If frittata is runny after baking, return to oven for a few more minutes. Let the frittata rest before slicing for cleaner cuts.
