Fresh asparagus, peas, goat cheese and herbs make a vibrant, easy dish. Enjoy for brunch or a light 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 and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Directions:

01 - Set oven to 375°F. Ensure the rack is in the center position.
02 - In a large oven-safe nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add asparagus; cook for 2 minutes. Incorporate peas and spring onions, then sauté for 2 minutes, until vegetables are vibrant and tender. Stir in spinach and cook just until wilted.
03 - Whisk eggs with milk or cream, chives, dill or parsley, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl until homogeneous.
04 - Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetables in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes, until the edges begin to set and the center remains slightly runny.
05 - Scatter crumbled goat cheese evenly across the surface.
06 - Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until puffed and the center is just set.
07 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The goat cheese melts into pockets of creamy goodness you’ll want in every bite.
  • The whole thing comes together quickly, making it perfect when you crave something fresh without fuss.
02 -
  • If you try to rush the sautéing, the spinach can release excess water and make the frittata watery—patience pays!
  • Baking just until barely set ensures the eggs stay custardy, never rubbery—a game changer.
03 -
  • Use a nonstick skillet to make sure the frittata releases cleanly and doesn’t stick.
  • A quick broil in the last minute gives the top a gentle golden finish—just watch closely!
