Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 large eggs
½ cup yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 leek (white and light green parts chopped)
½ pound thin asparagus (trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces)
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup (packed) baby spinach
salt and pepper (to taste)
4 ounces goat cheese (or feta/other cheese)
Optional garnish: fresh dill, and parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400F/200C. Heat the oil in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the leek and saute for 3-4 minutes.
  • Then add the asparagus and saute another 1-2 minutes.
  • Then add the frozen peas, baby spinach, salt and pepper, and saute another 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach is wilted. Remove 1/3 of the vegetables to a plate (optional, but it makes for a prettier frittata), and make sure the remaining half of vegetables is evenly spread out.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, yogurt, salt and pepper. Pour the eggs over the half of the vegetables in the pan. Cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the remaining vegetables on top, then dollop with the goat cheese. Transfer to the oven and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
  • Garnish with additional herbs before serving.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 0

Steps:

  • Soak 1/2 cup stale bread cubes in 1/2 cup milk; mix with 8 beaten eggs. Add 3/4 cup ricotta, 1 teaspoon chopped thyme, and salt and pepper. Saute 1 cup shredded zucchini in an ovenproof nonstick skillet with oil. Add the egg mixture; cook until the bottom sets, then bake at 325 degrees F, 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Chop the vegetables, herbs, and cheese before you start cooking. This will make the process go much faster.
  • Use a Good Quality Non-Stick Skillet: This will help prevent the frittata from sticking and make it easier to flip.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Skillet: Make sure there is enough space between the vegetables and asparagus so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the Frittata Over Medium Heat: This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't Flip the Frittata Too Soon: The bottom should be golden brown before you attempt to flip.
  • Use a Spatula to Gently Flip the Frittata: A spatula will help prevent the frittata from breaking.
  • Cook the Frittata Until the Center is Set: You can check by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the frittata is done.
  • Serve the Frittata Warm or at Room Temperature: This dish is delicious either way.
  • Garnish the Frittata: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or a dollop of crème fraîche for a finishing touch.
