This Mushroom and Asparagus Frittata with Goat Cheese is a quick, nutritious, and delicious breakfast or brunch option. Featuring fresh mushrooms, tender asparagus, and creamy goat cheese, it combines earthy and tangy flavors in a light, fluffy egg base. The frittata is cooked on the stovetop and finished under the broiler for a perfectly puffed and slightly golden top. Ready in just 15 minutes, it’s ideal for a satisfying single serving meal.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon water (or milk)
  • Pinch of kosher salt

Vegetables

  • 3 brown mushrooms, sliced
  • 5 asparagus spears, trimmed and cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon chopped green onion

Other

  • 1 tablespoon butter (or cooking spray)
  • 2 tablespoons goat cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat Broiler: Preheat your oven or toaster oven to broil to prepare for finishing the frittata later.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Spray a 7- to 8-inch non-stick fry pan with cooking spray and warm it over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften. Then add the asparagus pieces and cook for another 1-2 minutes until they become slightly tender.
  3. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of water, and a pinch of kosher salt vigorously until the mixture is light and frothy. Pour this over the cooked vegetables in the pan. Sprinkle the green onion and goat cheese evenly on top.
  4. Cook on Stovetop: Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed over medium heat until the edges start to pull away from the pan and the eggs begin to set. Gently lift the edges with a spatula and tilt the pan so the uncooked egg flows underneath the cooked parts. Continue cooking for about another minute to partially set the eggs.
  5. Broil to Finish: Transfer the fry pan into the preheated oven under the broiler. Broil for 2-3 minutes until the frittata puffs up and the top is cooked through and lightly golden. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
  6. Serve: Remove the pan from the oven. Optionally sprinkle with additional goat cheese. Cut the frittata into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute water with milk or cream for a richer texture in the eggs.
  • Use cooking spray instead of butter to reduce fat content if preferred.
  • Make sure to watch the frittata closely while broiling as it can burn quickly.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated or served cold.
  • For a larger portion, scale ingredient quantities accordingly and use a larger pan.
