Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup fresh asparagus (washed, ends trimmed, chopped into 1-inch (3-mm) long pieces)
  • 1 cup green peas (frozen or fresh)
  • 1 cup baby spinach leaves (tightly packed)
  • 8 large eggs
  • ½ cup 35% whipping cream
  • ½ to 1 teaspoon dried dill (or ¼ cup (15 grams) fresh dill, finely chopped)
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • ½ cup soft goat cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and line a 9×13-inch (23×33-cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
  • Boil about 2 cups of water in a kettle or small pot.
  • Place chopped asparagus in a heatproof bowl.
  • Pour boiling water over asparagus to cover, letting it sit for 1 minute.
  • Drain asparagus and rinse under cold water until cool. Let drain completely.
  • Scatter peas and asparagus in the baking dish, adding torn baby spinach.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish.
  • Top with goat cheese pieces until all cheese is used.
  • Bake for 27-30 minutes until the egg is wobbly but not wet.
  • Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve warm or cold, alone or with a green salad.

Notes

For best results, ensure the asparagus is blanched properly for a vibrant color and crisp texture.
