Print Recipe

A quick and easy frittata featuring fresh asparagus, earthy mushrooms, and a creamy texture from heavy cream and cheese. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light lunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup fresh asparagus, chopped into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (Gruyère, cheddar, or mozzarella)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (optional; chopped chives or parsley)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and chop 1 cup of fresh asparagus into 1-inch pieces. Slice 1 cup of mushrooms. Mince 1 garlic clove.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until golden and moisture is released.
  4. Add asparagus and garlic to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes until asparagus is bright green but still crisp. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, a pinch of salt and pepper until combined and frothy.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup shredded cheese and optional chopped herbs.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the sautéed vegetables in the skillet. Cook undisturbed on medium-low heat for 3–4 minutes until edges start to set but center still jiggles.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10–12 minutes until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  9. Let the frittata rest for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

[‘Use organic eggs and fresh, firm asparagus for best results.’, ‘Drain mushrooms well before sautéing to avoid soggy frittata.’, ‘Do not overbeat eggs to prevent rubbery texture.’, ‘Cook on medium-low heat on stove to gently set edges before baking.’, ‘Add a splash of cream before baking for silky texture.’, ‘Optional: sprinkle extra cheese halfway through baking for a golden finish.’, ‘Let rest after baking to firm up texture for easier slicing.’, ‘Ovens vary; check frittata at 10 minutes to avoid overcooking.’]
