Fluffy eggs with asparagus, peas, herbs, and goat cheese create a fresh, satisfying dish fit for any spring table.

# What You 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 & Dairy

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

# How-to Steps:

01 - Set oven to 375°F and allow to fully preheat before beginning.
02 - Melt butter in a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Incorporate peas and spring onions; sauté for 2 minutes until vegetables are bright and just tender. Add spinach and stir until wilted.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs with milk or cream, chives, dill or parsley, salt, and black pepper until fully blended.
04 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the cooked vegetables in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes until the edges begin to set, while the center remains slightly loose.
05 - Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top.
06 - Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until puffed and set in the center.
07 - Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • You’ll revel in the way the goat cheese practically melts into the eggs—nobody ever expects how creamy it will taste.
  • This dish feels extra-fancy but comes together quickly, which has rescued many a last-minute brunch at my place.
02 -
  • One time I forgot to preheat the oven, which left me with a slightly rubbery frittata—always preheat, even if you’re in a rush.
  • Leaving the frittata undisturbed on the stove for those few minutes before baking makes the edges lusciously golden and avoids sogginess.
03 -
  • Always use an oven-safe skillet—trust me, nothing’s sadder than realizing your skillet handle can’t take the heat mid-recipe.
  • A quick broil at the end makes the top gorgeously golden if you crave an extra toasty finish.
