A quick and easy frittata featuring fresh spring vegetables, creamy goat cheese, and herbs, perfect for a bright and satisfying brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • ½ cup sugar snap peas, trimmed and halved
  • 3 spring onions (scallions), thinly sliced
  • ½ cup fresh peas (or thawed frozen peas)
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped chives
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Lemon zest from ½ lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the vegetables: trim and cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces, slice the spring onions thinly, and halve the sugar snap peas. Thaw and drain frozen peas if using.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and sugar snap peas and sauté for 3–4 minutes until just tender but still crisp.
  4. Add spring onions and peas, cooking for another 2 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
  6. Fold in the crumbled goat cheese, chopped parsley, chives, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet, tilting the pan gently to spread it out.
  8. Cook over medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes until the edges start to set but the center is still runny.
  9. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden on top, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. Remove from oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  11. Scoop out generous wedges and garnish with extra fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Avoid overcooking vegetables to keep them tender-crisp. If skillet handle is not ovenproof, transfer mixture to a greased baking dish before baking. Let frittata rest before slicing for easier serving.
