A bright and satisfying spring frittata featuring tender asparagus, creamy goat cheese, and fresh dill. Quick and easy to prepare, perfect for a fresh start to your morning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs (preferably room temperature)
  • 1 bunch asparagus (about 1215 spears), trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 4 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk or cream (whole milk or half-and-half; oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1 clove garlic, minced

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and trim the tough ends off the asparagus. Cut into roughly 1-inch pieces.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add asparagus and garlic if using. Cook for 4-5 minutes until tender but still bright green.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 8 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk or cream until smooth and slightly frothy. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Stir in chopped dill and half of the crumbled goat cheese into the egg mixture.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed asparagus in the skillet. Tilt the pan to spread evenly. Sprinkle remaining goat cheese on top. Cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes on stovetop until edges start to set but center jiggles.
  7. Transfer skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Loosen edges with a spatula and slice into wedges to serve.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffier texture. Avoid overfilling the pan to ensure even cooking. Sauté asparagus first to keep it tender and prevent sogginess. Watch oven time closely to avoid rubbery eggs. Let frittata rest after baking for easier slicing and better flavor. Tent with foil if top browns too quickly.
