Description

A light and vibrant spring vegetable frittata packed with tender asparagus, juicy cherry tomatoes, fresh spinach, and creamy goat cheese. Fluffy, flavorful, and perfect for brunch, lunch, or a simple dinner.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Vegetables & Cheese

  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, loosely packed
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled

Other

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Skillet: Preheat the oven to 375°F and heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat to get it ready for cooking the vegetables and eventually baking the frittata.
  2. Mix Eggs and Seasoning: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, and black pepper until fully combined to ensure an even seasoning throughout the frittata.
  3. Sauté Vegetables: Add olive oil to the heated skillet and sauté the asparagus for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly tender. Add the fresh spinach and cook just until wilted, then stir in the cherry tomatoes to distribute evenly.
  4. Add Egg Mixture: Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, making sure the eggs cover the vegetables uniformly.
  5. Add Goat Cheese: Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the top of the egg and vegetable mixture to add creamy bursts of flavor in every bite.
  6. Set Edges on Stove: Cook on the stovetop for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges start to set, which helps create a nice crust before baking.
  7. Bake the Frittata: Transfer the skillet carefully to the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the center is set but still tender, maintaining a soft texture.
  8. Rest and Serve: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing to allow it to firm up and enable clean slices.

Notes

  • Do not overbake to keep the texture soft and fluffy.
  • Sauté vegetables first to prevent excess moisture in the frittata.
  • Allow the frittata to rest before slicing for clean wedges.
  • Fresh herbs like chives or basil can be added before serving for extra brightness and flavor.
