A quick and easy frittata featuring fresh spring vegetables and creamy goat cheese, perfect for a light and bright brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, preferably free-range or organic
  • 1 cup asparagus tips, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced leeks or green onions
  • 1/2 cup baby spinach (optional)
  • 4 ounces creamy goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup whole milk or half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim and slice the asparagus tips, shell peas if fresh, thinly slice leeks or green onions, rinse baby spinach, and chop herbs.
  3. In a mixing bowl, whisk 8 large eggs with 1/4 cup whole milk until slightly frothy and uniform. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add leeks and cook for 2 minutes until softened.
  5. Add asparagus and peas, cooking for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Add baby spinach last and stir until just wilted.
  6. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese and chopped herbs on top.
  7. Cook undisturbed on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes on medium-low until edges begin to set but center is still jiggly.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until puffed, golden, and fully set in the center.
  9. Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not overbeat the eggs to keep texture tender and fluffy. Cook vegetables to tender-crisp to avoid sogginess. Let the frittata rest before slicing for cleaner cuts. For a golden top, broil for 1-2 minutes at the end but watch closely to avoid burning. You can substitute vegetables and cheese to suit availability or dietary needs.
