Let’s Make it Together
Prep Your Veggies: Begin by washing all your vegetables thoroughly. Chop asparagus into bite-sized pieces and dice bell peppers and onion finely.
Sauté the Onions: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add onions and sauté until they turn translucent and fragrant.
Add Vegetables: Toss in diced bell peppers and asparagus next. Cook until they soften slightly—about 3-4 minutes should do the trick.
Mix Eggs & Spinach: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with salt and pepper until combined. Gently fold in baby spinach until just wilted.
Combine Everything: Pour the egg mixture over sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Let it cook undisturbed on medium heat until edges begin to set.
Bake It Up: Preheat your oven broiler to high. Once edges are firm but center is still slightly runny (about 5 minutes), transfer the skillet into the oven. Broil for 1-2 minutes until golden brown on top.
And just like that—you’ve created a masterpiece! Let it cool slightly before slicing into wedges like an artist revealing their latest creation.
Spring Vegetable Frittatas are not just food—they’re an experience that brings people together around the table, sharing stories and laughter while enjoying every slice. Whether it’s breakfast for dinner or brunch on a sunny weekend morning, this dish will surely brighten up any meal!
