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.
- Bring a small pot of water, or about 2 cups of water in a kettle, to a boil.
- Place the chopped asparagus in a heatproof bowl.
- Pour enough boiling water over the asparagus to just cover it and let it sit for 1 minute.
- Drain the asparagus in a colander and rinse under cold running water until the pieces are cool. Let the asparagus drain completely.
- Scatter the peas and asparagus inside the baking dish. Tear the baby spinach into small pieces and scatter them in as well.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, dill, salt, and pepper together until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish.
- Top with pieces of goat cheese until all the cheese is used.
- Bake for 27 to 30 minutes, until the egg mixture is wobbly but not wet.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm or cold, either as a meal or a snack, or alongside a light green salad.
