🧀🥚 This Cheesy Asparagus Frittata is a spring recipe loaded with asparagus, peas, and Gouda cheese! It’s a flexible, 25-minute recipe your whole family will love and is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an easy weeknight dinner!

Baked Asparagus Frittata Recipe

I love asparagus and look forward to it coming into season every spring, using it in a variety of recipes like my asparagus casserole, cheesy roasted asparagus, and chicken and pasta with asparagus and tomatoes.

However, this spring frittata is a particular favorite, packed with healthy green vegetables, color, and texture, and ready in 25 minutes! Even though it’s such a super simple recipe, it doesn’t taste simple, and I think it’s pretty enough to serve at a holiday or special meal. It would make a great Easter or Mother’s Day brunch dish, and the hostess won’t have to slave away.

When I decided to make this, I thought we’d have a ton of leftovers and would be drowning in frittata. Wrong. It was so good that we polished it off immediately! 

Ingredients You’ll Need

To make this recipe for frittata with asparagus, you’ll need the following easy-to-find ingredients: 

• Fresh asparagus and frozen peas: I used a bunch of asparagus and frozen peas (which I added straight to the pie plate). Feel free to use a mixture of fresh and frozen to suit whatever you have on hand. You’re welcome to add any springtime veggies you’d like, such as broccoli or leeks. Just note that you may need to sauté or roast certain veggies first to soften them slightly prior to baking the frittata
• Eggs
• Salt and pepper
• Gouda cheese: I love how the slight smokiness from the Gouda plays perfectly off the eggs. Feel free to try mozzarella, fontina, Havarti, brie, goat cheese, or your favorite easy-melting cheese

How to Make a Cheesy Asparagus Frittata

Assembling the spring asparagus frittata takes less than five minutes. No, really! Here’s how this easy frittata recipe is made: 

1. Slice the asparagus, and put it in the pie dish or a cast iron pan greased with cooking oil spray, olive oil, or butter. I recommend chopping the asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Be sure to discard the woody ends. 
2. Sprinkle with frozen peas.
3. Whisk the eggs in a bowl, and pour the egg mixture over the veggies.
4. Sprinkle with cheese and bake in a preheated oven until set. There’s no need to toss the ingredients or cook anything over medium heat first, as you see with many frittatas!
5. Cool slightly at room temperature, and enjoy warm!
