A quick and easy brunch recipe featuring fluffy eggs, fresh spring onions, and creamy goat cheese, perfect for a light meal or gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 4 medium spring onions, thinly sliced (white and green parts)
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) goat cheese, crumbled
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk or half-and-half
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and thinly slice 4 medium spring onions, including both white and green parts.
  3. In a mixing bowl, crack 6 large eggs and add 1/4 cup (60 ml) whole milk or half-and-half. Whisk vigorously until slightly frothy. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced spring onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Pour the egg mixture gently over the softened onions in the skillet. Tilt the pan so the eggs spread evenly. Let cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes until edges start to set but center is still runny.
  6. Crumble 4 ounces (115 grams) of goat cheese into small dollops evenly over the top.
  7. Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed, golden around the edges, and the center is just set.
  8. Optional: Broil for 1-2 minutes for a golden top, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  9. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
  10. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives if desired, slice into wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for fluffiness. Don’t overbeat eggs to avoid toughness. Sauté onions gently to preserve sweetness. Watch oven closely to prevent drying out. Let frittata rest before slicing for cleaner wedges. If no oven-safe skillet, transfer to greased baking dish before baking.
