A quick and easy frittata loaded with fresh spring vegetables, creamy goat cheese, and fragrant herbs, perfect for a light and satisfying meal.

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 fresh peas (thawed if frozen)
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or cream (can substitute almond milk for dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler and position the rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  2. Rinse the asparagus and peas. Trim and chop asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Thinly slice the green onions, including white and green parts. Mince the garlic if using.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and peas, sauté for 4-5 minutes until tender but vibrant green. Add green onions and garlic, cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove skillet from heat.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt (about 1/2 teaspoon), and freshly ground pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Tilt pan to spread eggs evenly. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese and chopped fresh herbs on top.
  6. Return skillet to medium-low heat and cook for 6-8 minutes without stirring until edges set and center is slightly loose. Lower heat if edges brown too quickly.
  7. Transfer skillet to the preheated broiler and broil for 2-4 minutes until top is puffed and golden brown and goat cheese is melted.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to set further.
  9. Slice into wedges and serve warm. Garnish with extra fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Avoid over-stirring once eggs hit the pan. Cook on medium-low heat to prevent burning. Watch broiler closely to avoid burning the top. Substitute vegetables and herbs as desired. For dairy-free, replace goat cheese with vegan cheese or omit and add nutritional yeast.
