Description
A delicious mushroom and asparagus frittata featuring creamy goat cheese, perfect for a light meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs, whisked
- 11/2 teaspoon water, or milk
- Pinch of kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon butter, or cooking spray
- 3 brown mushrooms, sliced
- 5 asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
- 2 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled
Instructions
- Prep the Veggies: Start by sautéing the mushrooms and asparagus in a bit of olive oil over medium heat for about 5 minutes. You will know they are done when they are glistening and fragrant. Keep an eye on them; burning can happen quickly.
- Add Eggs & Cheese: Whisk the eggs in a bowl with water and a pinch of salt until frothy. Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed veggies in the pan. Sprinkle goat cheese on top and allow it to melt in. The eggs should look slightly set around the edges after a couple of minutes. Avoid stirring too much to maintain beautiful layers.
- Cook the Frittata: Reduce the heat and let the frittata cook gently. Look for bubbles forming on the surface, which indicates that it is cooking through, about 10 minutes. Do not overcook, or the frittata may end up dry.
- Finish Under Broiler: Carefully transfer the pan under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes, keeping a close eye on it. The top should become golden and set. Do not walk away, as burnt edges can occur quickly.
- Cool & Serve: Let the frittata cool for a few minutes before slicing to help it firm up for easy serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Storage Tips: Allow the frittata to cool completely before refrigerating. It will last up to 4 days.
- Expert Tips: If your frittata tends to be too dry, check for doneness around the 8-minute mark. Eggs will continue to set after removing from heat.
- Use enough butter or cooking spray in your non-stick skillet to prevent sticking and allow for easy serving.
- To ensure even cooking, cook on medium-low heat and gently move the pan to distribute heat throughout.
- Reheating Instructions: If desired, enjoy the frittata cold as egg dishes may not reheat well.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of mixed berry salad, pair with crispy roast potatoes for a hearty meal, or accompany with cantaloupe and mozzarella salad.
- Recipe Variations: Substitute goat cheese with crumbled feta for different flavor profiles. For more greens, add spinach or kale. Incorporate herbs like parsley or basil for added flavor.
- Ingredient Notes: Eggs should be whisked well to incorporate air for a fluffy texture. Use fresh vegetables for the best flavor and quality.
