This simple frittata is bursting with fresh flavors from smoky, roasted asparagus and creamy, tangy goat cheese. Ideal for entertaining, busy weeknight dinners or a make-ahead breakfast.
I can’t believe I’m about to admit this but this was my first time ever making a frittata. WHY ON EARTH DID I WAIT SO LONG?!?!! It could not be easier and it could not be more delicious. I am officially hooked and finally understand why Giada says the word “frittata’ with so much gusto.

Not only is this dish extremely fool-proof, but it is protein-packed and full of nutrients. I’m still nursing so I’m a huge fan of egg yolks for all of the vitamins and minerals. And, I’m still working towards my pre-baby weight so I am trying to get more of my calories from protein vs. carbs.

Speaking of baby, today I am thrilled to be celebrating a SURPRISE Virtual Baby Shower hosted by Caroline + Erin for our beautiful friend Georgia of The Comfort of Cooking. She is getting ready to have a baby girl any day now and I could not be more thrilled for her!! Motherhood is an amazing journey and I can’t wait to see Georgia embrace it with elegance and beauty.

Of course, frittatas are ideal for baby showers, a Mother’s Day brunch or any day time party. Easy to whip up in advance and low maintenance to serve, you can use any ingredients you happen to have on hand. In fact, recently I whipped one up on a Sunday and loved having breakfast ready after a quick 60 seconds in the microwave.

As always, this recipe is more of a method than a hard and fast rule book. In lieu of asparagus, you can use zucchini, broccoli or Swiss chard. If you don’t have goat cheese, try feta or peccorino. The options are endless.
