# 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

12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F.
02 - Melt butter in a large oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and cook for 2 minutes. Add peas and spring onions, sauté for another 2 minutes until bright and just tender. Stir in spinach and cook until wilted.
03 - Whisk eggs, milk or cream, chives, dill or parsley, salt, and pepper in a large mixing bowl until well blended.
04 - Pour the egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3 to 4 minutes, until edges begin to set and center remains slightly runny.
05 - Scatter crumbled goat cheese evenly across the top.
06 - Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until frittata is puffed and just set in the center.
07 - Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • You’ll secretly want to eat leftovers cold straight from the fridge the next morning.
  • This frittata brings a soft, creamy texture and vivid spring flavors, but takes so little effort it feels almost luxurious.
02 -
  • If you overcook the frittata, it turns rubbery—once I left it in “for just two more minutes” and regretted it right away.
  • Adding goat cheese before baking instead of mixing it in keeps it creamy and visible in every bite.
03 -
  • Pre-warm the skillet before adding eggs so they set quickly without sticking.
  • A splash of sparkling water in the egg mix can make the frittata extra fluffy.
