Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC) and prepare a 9×13-inch (23×33-cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
Boil about 2 cups of water in a kettle or a small pot.
In a heatproof bowl, place the chopped asparagus.
Pour boiling water over the asparagus to cover it and let it sit for 1 minute.
Drain the asparagus in a colander and cool it under cold running water. Allow it to drain completely afterward.
In the lined baking dish, combine the peas and asparagus. Tear the baby spinach into small pieces and add to the dish.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and combined.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the baking dish.
Top the mixture with pieces of goat cheese until it is fully used.
Bake for 27 to 30 minutes until the egg mixture is slightly wobbly but not wet. It will set as it cools.
Remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or cold, ideally paired with a light green salad.

Notes

Let the frittata cool completely for better slicing.
This frittata can be served warm or chilled, making it versatile for any time of day.
