Spring Frittata Asparagus Peas Goat (Printable)

Celebrate spring vegetables and goat cheese in a light, flavorful dish ideal for brunch or a vegetarian meal.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
02 - 3/4 cup fresh or frozen peas
03 - 2 cups baby spinach, roughly chopped
04 - 2 spring onions, thinly sliced

→ Eggs & Dairy

05 - 8 large eggs
06 - 1/4 cup whole milk or cream
07 - 3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

→ Herbs & Seasoning

09 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped
11 - Salt, to taste
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Directions:

01 - Set the oven to 375°F and allow it to fully preheat.
02 - Melt butter in a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Incorporate peas and spring onions; sauté for an additional 2 minutes until vegetables become bright and tender. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
03 - Combine eggs, milk or cream, chives, dill or parsley, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Whisk thoroughly to blend.
04 - Distribute the egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables. Cook without stirring for 3 to 4 minutes until the outer edges start to set and the center remains slightly loose.
05 - Scatter crumbled goat cheese uniformly atop the egg mixture.
06 - Move the skillet to the oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until puffed and set in the center.
07 - Remove the skillet from the oven and let sit for 5 minutes. Slice into pieces and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • You can make this frittata ahead and serve it warm or room temperature, which means less last-minute stress.
  • The combination of tender vegetables and tangy goat cheese is the reason I keep coming back to this recipe every spring.
02 -
  • If you rush the skillet step, the center turns rubbery—slow and steady gives the best texture.
  • Letting the frittata rest before slicing makes for cleaner, prettier portions every time.
03 -
  • Preheat your skillet so the butter foams right away—this makes browning veggies faster and tastier.
  • Add goat cheese after eggs are partly set so it melts into creamy pockets, not just blending in.
