Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- ¼ cup water or milk
- Olive oil, for the pan
- 3–4 thin spring onions, chopped small, plus a few thin vertical strips for garnish
- ½ cup chopped asparagus tips
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ cup frozen peas, thawed
- ¼ cup fresh mozzarella pieces
- ¼ cup crumbled feta
- ¼ cup chopped tarragon
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- A few pinches of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Heat a small ovenproof skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Sauté the Vegetables: Add chopped spring onions (reserving a few strips for garnish), asparagus tips, and minced garlic to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant. Add thawed peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together eggs and water (or milk). Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir in chopped tarragon.
- Assemble the Frittata: Pour the egg mixture over the sautéed vegetables in the pan. Stir gently to distribute the vegetables evenly. Top with mozzarella and feta.
- Cook the Frittata: Let it cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set. Then transfer to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with the reserved spring onion strips. Slice and serve.
