A quick and easy spring vegetable frittata featuring creamy goat cheese and fresh herbs, perfect for a light and flavorful breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 4 oz (about 115g) creamy goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1/2 cup English peas (fresh or frozen)
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 2 tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (extra virgin)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim and cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Slice green onions thinly. Shell fresh peas or rinse frozen peas.
  3. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and green onions and sauté for about 4 minutes until asparagus is bright green and slightly tender. Add peas during the last minute to warm through.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs with milk or cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  5. Stir chopped parsley, chives, and tarragon into the egg mixture. Fold in half of the crumbled goat cheese, reserving the rest for topping.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Spread evenly with a spatula. Cook on stovetop over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes until edges begin to set but center is still jiggly.
  7. Sprinkle remaining goat cheese over the top. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until center is set and top is lightly golden.
  8. Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not overbeat the eggs to avoid rubbery texture. Cook vegetables first to prevent sogginess. Use an oven-safe skillet to avoid transferring. Check oven time closely to prevent drying out. Fresh herbs mixed into the eggs enhance flavor. Goat cheese folded in creates creamy pockets throughout.
