Print Recipe

A quick and easy spring vegetable frittata featuring fresh asparagus, peas, and creamy goat cheese, perfect for brunch or light meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup fresh peas (or thawed frozen peas)
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons whole milk or cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim and chop the asparagus into 1-inch pieces, slice the green onions thinly, and chop the parsley finely. If using frozen peas, thaw and pat dry.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add peas and green onions to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes until warmed through and fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream (if using), a pinch of salt, and freshly ground black pepper until light and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute the eggs uniformly.
  7. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly across the top without stirring it in.
  8. Let the frittata cook undisturbed on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set but the center is still loose.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Avoid stirring goat cheese into eggs to create creamy pockets. Adjust oven time based on your oven; start checking at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking. Well-seasoned cast iron skillet recommended for best crust.
