Print Recipe

A quick and easy frittata featuring creamy goat cheese and fresh asparagus, perfect for brunch with a tender, custardy texture and bright spring flavors.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 bunch fresh asparagus (about 12–15 spears), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 ounces goat cheese (soft and creamy, such as Chèvre)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or cream (whole milk, half-and-half, or cream)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin preferred)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chopped chives or parsley), optional
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and trim the woody ends of the asparagus, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in an oven-safe 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and minced garlic, cooking for 3-4 minutes until asparagus is tender and fragrant. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk 6 large eggs with 1/4 cup milk or cream until smooth and slightly frothy. Season with a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
  5. Crumble the goat cheese into the egg mixture and stir in chopped fresh herbs if using.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed asparagus in the skillet, tilting the pan to distribute evenly.
  7. Cook on stovetop over medium-low heat for 3-5 minutes until edges set but center is still slightly runny. Use a spatula to gently lift edges and let uncooked egg flow underneath.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  9. Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for better texture. Don’t overcook on the stove to avoid rubbery edges. Crumble goat cheese finely for even melting. Fresh herbs brighten the dish. Tent with foil if browning too quickly in oven. For extra creaminess, swirl in a tablespoon of crème fraîche before baking.
