Preheat oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Sauté vegetables:

In a large ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the spring onions and asparagus, sauté for 3 to 4 minutes until just tender. Add the spinach and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes until wilted.

Mix eggs and seasonings:

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the fresh herbs and Parmesan cheese.

Combine in skillet:

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet. Gently stir to distribute the fillings evenly.

Add goat cheese:

Sprinkle the crumbled goat cheese evenly over the top.

Cook edges:

Cook on the stove for 2 to 3 minutes until the edges begin to set.

Bake:

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and set in the center.

Finish:

Let cool slightly, slice into wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Common Recipe Questions

→ Can I use other greens besides spinach and asparagus?

Yes, feel free to substitute with arugula, peas, tender kale, or other spring greens to suit your taste or what's available seasonally.

Goat cheese provides a creamy tang that balances well with the greens, while a sprinkle of Parmesan adds a nutty richness to the overall flavor.

Cooking the vegetable mixture briefly before adding the egg blend helps remove excess moisture. Baking until the center is puffed and firm guarantees a well-set texture.

Preheating ensures even cooking and helps the frittata develop a golden top and a fluffy interior.

While best enjoyed warm or at room temperature, it can also be served cold, making it versatile for various meal occasions.

Fresh green salads, crusty bread, or a light Sauvignon Blanc complement the flavors and textures nicely.
