Ingredients
  

  • 12 eggs
  • 2 bunches of asparagus chopped
  • 1 leek thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup cream or non-dairy milk
  • 100 grams goat cheese crumbled
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano or 2–3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven: Preheat to 200°C (400°F). Grease a 23x23x8 cm baking dish with olive oil.
  • Whisk the eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream or milk, salt, pepper, and herbs until well combined.
  • Sauté the leeks: In a frying pan or skillet, heat olive oil over low-medium heat. Add the sliced leek and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until soft.
  • Add the garlic: Add minced garlic and sauté for another 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  • Add asparagus: Stir in chopped asparagus to the warm pan to lightly soften with the residual heat.
  • Add cheese to eggs: Add crumbled goat cheese to the egg mixture and stir gently to combine.
  • Assemble the frittata: Spread the sautéed vegetables evenly in the greased baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the top.
  • Bake: Bake for 30 minutes. Check center it should be just set with a slight wobble. If needed, bake 5 more minutes.
  • Rest: Let the frittata sit for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Be sure to chop asparagus into bite-size pieces for even cooking.
  • You can use lactose-free or dairy-free options for the milk and cheese if needed.
