03 - 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped

→ Dairy

04 - 6 large eggs
05 - 1/4 cup whole milk
06 - 3.5 oz goat cheese, crumbled
07 - 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

→ Herbs & Seasonings

08 - 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely sliced

12 - Pinch of red pepper flakes

→ For Cooking

13 - 2 tbsp olive oil
14 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F.
02 - In a large ovenproof skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add red onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until softened.
03 - Add asparagus and cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender. Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
04 - In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and half of the chives and dill.
05 - Reduce heat to low. Pour egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the pan. Dollop goat cheese evenly on top and sprinkle with Parmesan.
06 - Cook undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the edges begin to set but the center is still slightly runny.
07 - Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the frittata is just set in the center and lightly golden.
08 - Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with remaining herbs and a pinch of red pepper flakes.
09 - Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
