Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk or cream
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Vegetables & Cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup leeks or green onions (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup asparagus (trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces)
- 1/2 cup frozen or fresh peas
- 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
- 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (such as parsley, dill, or basil)
- Optional microgreens or extra herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Egg Mixture: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set this mixture aside to use later.
- Sauté Vegetables: Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks or green onions and cook for 2–3 minutes until they become softened and fragrant. Then stir in the chopped asparagus and peas and sauté for another 3–4 minutes until the vegetables are just tender.
- Add Eggs and Toppings: Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Top the mixture with halved cherry tomatoes and crumbled goat cheese. Let it cook undisturbed on the stove for 2–3 minutes until the edges of the frittata start to set.
- Bake the Frittata: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes. Bake until the center is set and the frittata has puffed slightly, indicating it is fully cooked through.
- Cool and Garnish: Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the frittata to cool slightly. Sprinkle the fresh herbs and optional microgreens on top before slicing into 6 pieces and serving warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Serve the frittata warm or at room temperature for best flavor.
- Pairs wonderfully with toast or a fresh side salad for a complete meal.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to maintain texture and flavor.
