Vibrant spring vegetables and goat cheese highlight this easy, flavorful dish for brunch or a light meal.

# 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 & Dairy

05 - 8 large eggs
06 - 1/4 cup whole milk or cream
07 - 3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
08 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

→ Herbs & Seasoning

09 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
10 - 1 tablespoon fresh dill or parsley, chopped
11 - Salt, to taste
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F.
02 - Melt 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 another 2 minutes until bright and just tender. Add spinach and cook until wilted.
03 - In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, milk or cream, chives, dill or parsley, salt, and pepper until thoroughly blended.
04 - Pour egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until edges are set and the center remains slightly runny.
05 - Scatter goat cheese evenly over the top.
06 - Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake 10–12 minutes, until puffed and just set in the center.
07 - Remove from oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It’s bursting with spring flavor, and the goat cheese melts into delicate creamy pockets — a secret I share with anyone craving something vibrant for brunch.
  • It became a staple because it feels fancy but takes less time than you’d think, freeing you up for more conversation (or daydreaming).
02 -
  • Once I rushed the sauté, tossing everything in at once, and ended up with unevenly cooked veggies — patience here really pays off.
  • Switching to fresh dill one spring gave the frittata a gentle grassy lift that made every bite more memorable.
03 -
  • Letting the frittata rest after baking keeps it easier to slice and yields a prettier presentation.
  • Using a well-preheated skillet gives you that golden edge without sticking — it’s my quiet secret for a picture-perfect wedge.
