Description
A delicious vegetarian frittata featuring asparagus and goat cheese, perfect for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch (approximately 500g) asparagus, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon (15ml) extra virgin olive oil
- 8 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk, any type
- 1/21/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/41/2 teaspoon pepper
- 3 ounces (85g) goat cheese, crumbled
- 1/41/2 teaspoon onion (optional), finely chopped
- additional salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F while greasing an oven-safe skillet with olive oil. The cooking oil should start heating, which indicates it is ready to help achieve a golden finish. Ensure the skillet is well-greased to prevent sticking, which could make serving difficult.
- Whisk Eggs & Milk: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and slightly frothy, indicating readiness for seasoning.
- Cook Asparagus & Onions: Heat the greased skillet over medium heat and add the asparagus and onion, sautéing until they soften and the onions turn translucent.
- Add Egg Mixture: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables, ensuring it evenly covers everything.
- Top with Goat Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese over the egg mixture.
- Bake Until Set: Carefully transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the egg is just set.
- Cool & Slice: Once removed from the oven, allow the frittata to cool for a few minutes.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, it can be served warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
- If your frittata does not set in the center, cook it for an additional 3-5 minutes in the oven.
- To prevent dryness in the frittata, increase the milk next time by an extra tablespoon.
- If curdling occurs during cooking, lower the heat and stir gently for a smoother texture.
- To reheat, place the frittata in a preheated oven at 350 degrees F for about 10 minutes.
- This frittata pairs well with a light salad for lunch or toast for a hearty breakfast. Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor.
- You can substitute goat cheese with feta if desired. Try incorporating bell peppers or cooked bacon for extra flavor.
