- Vegetables: 1 bunch (about 200 g) asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2 cm pieces, 1 small red onion, finely chopped, 1 cup (30 g) baby spinach, roughly chopped
- Dairy: 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk, 100 g goat cheese, crumbled, 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Herbs & Seasonings: 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely sliced, 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (optional), 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)
- For Cooking: 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp unsalted butter
Instructions
- 1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- 2. In a large ovenproof skillet (preferably nonstick or cast iron), heat olive oil over medium heat. Add red onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
- 3. Add asparagus and cook for another 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
- 4. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and half of the chives and dill.
- 5. Reduce heat to low. Pour egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the pan. Dollop goat cheese evenly on top and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- 6. Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
- 7. Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the frittata is just set in the center and lightly golden.
- 8. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with remaining herbs and a pinch of red pepper flakes if using.
- 9. Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
Zusatztipps für die Zubereitung
Use a well-seasoned cast iron or nonstick ovenproof skillet for best results and easy cleanup. Be sure to cook the vegetables until just tender to preserve their texture and flavor. When pouring the egg mixture, lower the heat to prevent burning on the bottom. Allowing the frittata to rest after baking helps it set completely and makes slicing easier.
