Spring Frittata with Asparagus, Peas & Goat Cheese

Written By IDV Design Studio

A frittata is one of those dishes that perfectly balances simplicity, flavor, and versatility.
It comes together in a single pan, doesn’t require professional equipment, and adapts easily to seasonal ingredients.

This light, flavorful version is ideal for early spring — featuring tender asparagus, sweet peas, and creamy goat cheese.

Best of all, it’s cooked entirely in an enameled cast iron skillet, creating that perfect contrast between a lightly crisp base and a soft, fluffy center.

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the oven (optional)

Preheat to 350°F (180°C) if you plan to finish the frittata in the oven for a lightly golden top.

2. Prepare the vegetables

  • Rinse and cut the asparagus into 1½-inch pieces.

  • Slice the red onion thinly.

3. Sauté in the skillet

Heat olive oil in the cast iron skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent.
Add asparagus and peas, sautéing for 4–5 minutes until just tender.
Remove from heat.

4. Whisk the eggs

In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, and pepper.
Fold in half of the goat cheese.

5. Combine and cook

Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet.
Cook over medium-low heat for 5–6 minutes, until the edges are set but the center is still slightly soft.

6. Optional oven finish

Sprinkle the remaining goat cheese on top and transfer the skillet to the oven.
Bake for 5–6 minutes, until fully set and lightly golden.

7. Serve

Let rest for 2 minutes.
Top with fresh herbs and serve directly from the skillet.

🍴 Extra Tips

  • Swap peas for fava beans or add mushrooms for more depth

  • If skipping the oven, cover the skillet and finish on low heat

  • Perfect for a light lunch or relaxed dinner, served with a simple salad and rustic bread

🧲 Seasonal Cooking, Made Better with Cast Iron

What separates a good frittata from a great one is consistency and heat control.
An enameled cast iron skillet holds steady temperature, browns without burning, and moves seamlessly from stovetop to table.

If you’ve never cooked with cast iron before, this is a perfect place to start.
