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.
- Bring a small pot of water or about 2 cups of water in a kettle to a boil.
- Place the chopped asparagus in a heatproof bowl.
- Pour enough boiling water over the asparagus to just cover it and let it sit for 1 minute.
- Drain the asparagus in a colander and rinse under cold running water until cool; let it drain completely.
- Scatter the peas and asparagus inside the lined baking dish. Tear the baby spinach into small pieces and add them to the dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the whisked egg mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish.
- Top with pieces of goat cheese until all cheese is used.
- Bake for 27 to 30 minutes until the egg mixture is wobbly but not wet; it will set as it cools.
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes, then slice as desired.
- Serve warm or cold, either as a meal or snack, or accompanied by a light salad.
