Print Recipe

A quick and easy frittata featuring tender asparagus, peas, fresh herbs, and creamy goat cheese, perfect for a healthy breakfast or light brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 4 ounces creamy goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ cup fresh peas (or thawed frozen peas)
  • 3 green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley, chives, tarragon), chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup whole milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler and set a rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: trim and cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces, thinly slice green onions, mince garlic, and chop fresh herbs.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and sauté for 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  4. Add peas, green onions, and garlic; cook for another 2 minutes until veggies are bright and fresh.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs, ¼ cup whole milk or cream, salt, and pepper until smooth and slightly frothy.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, tilting to distribute evenly. Cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes over medium-low heat until edges start to set but center remains jiggly.
  7. Scatter crumbled goat cheese and chopped fresh herbs evenly over the top.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated broiler and cook for 3-5 minutes until the top is lightly browned, bubbly, and eggs are fully set.
  9. Remove from oven carefully and let rest for 1-2 minutes before slicing.
  10. Cut into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Watch the broiler closely to avoid burning. Fresh vegetables should be sautéed quickly to keep crispness. Goat cheese quality affects creaminess and flavor. If no oven-safe skillet, transfer to a baking dish before broiling.
