Print Recipe

A fresh, light, and flavorful frittata featuring spring vegetables, creamy goat cheese, and fresh herbs, perfect for a healthy brunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 4 oz (115 g) goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup (130 g) asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup (75 g) fresh peas, shelled or frozen (thawed)
  • 2 stalks green onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream or milk (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the vegetables: trim and cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces, shell peas or thaw frozen ones, slice green onions thinly, mince garlic, and chop fresh herbs.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and peas and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender but bright green.
  4. Add green onions and garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and heavy cream or milk until pale and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Gently fold crumbled goat cheese and chopped herbs into the egg mixture.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Tilt the pan to distribute evenly.
  8. Cook on stovetop over medium-low heat for 4-5 minutes until edges start to set but center is still loose.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until puffed, golden on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes to firm up.
  11. Cut into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and cream for better texture. Avoid overcooking vegetables to keep them crisp-tender. Let the frittata rest after baking for easier slicing. If edges cook faster than center, loosen sides with a spatula midway through baking. For dairy-free, omit goat cheese or substitute with plant-based cheese.
