Description
This Herb & Goat Cheese Frittata with Asparagus and Peas is a quick and tasty dish featuring vibrant veggies and creamy goat cheese, perfect for brunch or dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup fresh asparagus (washed, ends trimmed, chopped into 1-inch (3-mm) long pieces)
- 1 cup green peas (frozen or fresh)
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves (tightly packed)
- 8 large eggs
- ½ cup 35% whipping cream
- ½ to 1 teaspoon dried dill (or ¼ cup (15 grams) fresh dill, finely chopped)
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
- ½ cup soft goat cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and line a 9×13-inch (23×33-cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
- Boil about 2 cups of water in a pot or kettle.
- Place the chopped asparagus in a heatproof bowl and pour boiling water over it to cover it. Let it sit for 1 minute.
- Drain the asparagus, then rinse it under cold running water until cool. Allow it to drain completely.
- Scatter the peas and asparagus in the lined baking dish. Tear the baby spinach into small pieces and add it to the dish as well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish.
- Top the mixture with crumbled pieces of goat cheese.
- Bake for 27 to 30 minutes, until the egg mixture is wobbly but not wet; it will set further as it cools.
- Let the frittata cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing as desired.
- Serve warm or cold, either as a meal or snack, or alongside a light green salad.
Notes
Make sure to cool the asparagus before adding it to the baking dish to avoid overcooking.
Feel free to substitute fresh dill with other herbs like chives or parsley for a different flavor.
This frittata can be enjoyed warm or chilled, making it perfect for meal prep.
