A quick and easy frittata featuring fresh asparagus, tangy goat cheese, and aromatic herbs, perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 12–15 spears), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 oz (about 115g) goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 small clove garlic, minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and trim the woody ends of the asparagus, then cut into 1-inch pieces.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic if using and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add asparagus pieces and sauté for 4-5 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 8 eggs and 1/4 cup milk or cream until fully combined and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Stir in chopped fresh herbs and fold in half of the crumbled goat cheese.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed asparagus in the skillet. Tilt the pan to distribute evenly.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese on top.
  9. Cook on the stovetop over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes until the edges start to set but the center is still runny.
  10. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the frittata is puffed, set, and lightly golden. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  11. Let the frittata rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Do not over-whisk the eggs to avoid a dense texture. Use moderate heat when sautéing asparagus to prevent browning. Let the frittata rest after baking to firm up for easier slicing. For dairy-free, substitute goat cheese with plant-based cheese or omit and add nutritional yeast.
