Instructions
- 1Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. Set aside.
- 2Heat olive oil in a 10-inch oven-safe non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add diced red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and asparagus pieces, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until asparagus is tender-crisp.
- 3Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until it wilts, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the thawed frozen peas. Spread the vegetables evenly across the bottom of the skillet.
- 4Sprinkle half of the crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables. Pour the whisked egg mixture evenly over the vegetables and feta in the skillet. Gently shake the pan to ensure the eggs settle around the vegetables.
- 5Cook on the stovetop for 3-5 minutes, until the edges of the frittata start to set. Then, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, set in the center, and lightly golden brown. Sprinkle the remaining feta cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
- 6Remove from oven and let stand for a few minutes before slicing into wedges. Garnish with fresh dill or chives, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
