Asparagus, peas, and goat cheese combine with eggs for an easy spring brunch. Fresh herbs brighten each bite.

# 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 and Dairy

05 - 8 large eggs
06 - 1/4 cup whole milk or cream

08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

→ Herbs and 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

# How To Make It:

01 - Set oven to 375°F and allow to fully preheat.
02 - Melt unsalted butter in a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in peas and spring onions; sauté for an additional 2 minutes until vegetables are bright and tender. Incorporate baby spinach and cook until wilted.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs together with whole milk or cream, fresh chives, dill or parsley, salt, and pepper until thoroughly blended.
04 - Distribute the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Cook on the stovetop, undisturbed, for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing the edges to set while the center remains slightly runny.
05 - Sprinkle crumbled goat cheese evenly across the surface.
06 - Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the center is set and the surface is gently puffed.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Every bite is bursting with the sweetness of tender vegetables and tangy goat cheese.
  • It comes together in less than half an hour, so you can savor it on a busy morning or leisurely brunch.
02 -
  • Once, I tried to rush the spinach and it stayed soggy, so make sure it wilts fully before the eggs go in.
  • Slicing the frittata before it cools will cause crumbling; a brief rest brings out clean edges.
03 -
  • Don't crowd the veggies—giving them space lets each flavor shine and prevents steaming.
  • For an extra burst of freshness, sprinkle torn herbs over the finished frittata just before serving.
