Print Recipe

A quick and easy frittata featuring fresh spring vegetables and tangy goat cheese, perfect for brunch or a light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled (preferably creamy, tangy variety like Chèvre)
  • 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup sugar snap peas, halved
  • 3 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley and chives), chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (extra virgin recommended)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Trim and cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces, halve the sugar snap peas, slice spring onions thinly, and roughly chop the baby spinach and herbs.
  3. Heat the skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon olive oil. Once shimmering, toss in the asparagus and sugar snap peas. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  4. Add spring onions and spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until the spinach wilts. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Whisk the eggs in a large bowl with the remaining olive oil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper until frothy and light (about 1-2 minutes).
  6. Gently fold in the sautéed vegetables and half the crumbled goat cheese. Pour the mixture evenly into the skillet, spreading it out smoothly.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese and fresh herbs on top.
  8. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Check at 15 minutes: the frittata should be set but slightly jiggly in the center.
  9. Remove from oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  10. Slice and serve warm with a light green salad, crusty bread, or your favorite morning beverage.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Avoid overcooking vegetables to keep them crisp-tender. Use the jiggly center test to prevent overbaking. Cast iron skillet recommended for even heat and crust development. Prep veggies and cheese the night before to save time.
