Feta and Asparagus Frittata

This easy Feta and Asparagus Frittata is packed full of greens and protein for a simple, but filling lunch that is perfect for spring time. Eggs, cheese and veggies - what more could you need?

We couldn't be happier when asparagus season rolls round, as it's one of our favourite vegetables and this is one of our favourite ways to use it. Baked in to a frittata it still maintains some of its crunch, whilst being perfectly cooked in the middle. The creaminess of the frittata is a delicious combination too. Eat as a snack, or serve as a light lunch with a salad.

Why should you try it?

Step by step

One: Preheat your oven to 200°C/390°F/Gas 6. Chop the woody ends off the asparagus.

Two: Whisk the eggs and creme fraiche together and season.

Three: Grease an oven proof dish and add half the peas to the bottom, pour over the egg mixture, add the rest of the peas, asparagus and crumble the feta on top.

Four: Cook in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until the eggs are cooked.

What other vegetables to use

This frittata really is all about the asparagus, so it is the star of the show here, but that doesn't mean we can't add some extra greens. We have added some frozen peas (although you can use fresh) for a greens boost. You could mix in some chopped spinach too. We have also made this with chopped cherry tomatoes and some sun dried tomatoes before too. You could add chopped bell peppers, and even some slices of cooked potato if you wanted to make this a little more filling.

What cheese to use

We used feta, as it just has so much flavour, but you could swap it for pretty much any cheese. We have made this with Parmesan, cheddar, Gruyere and mozzarella before. You could even make it with a mixture of a couple of different cheeses.

What to serve it with

This is such a lovely and light dish, you can either keep it that way by serving it with a big green salad and a slice of sour dough bread, or you could make it in to more of a filling meal by serving it with some Homemade Garlic Potato Wedges.

Tenderstem broccoli or green beans make a good side dish for this if you want to add even more greens too.

Make this into egg muffins

If you wanted to make little individual versions of this, then you could cook them in a greased muffin tin instead. Cooking time would need to be reduced by about 10 minutes though. They make great little hand held snacks, which are perfect for a picnic or lunch box.
