Spring Vegetable Frittata for Mother image

It always feels a little wrong making a frittata with freshly cooked vegetables, since the whole point of the dish is to use up leftovers, but seeing as we're making this for a Mother's Day brunch special, we'll make an exception. Make sure all your vegetables are tender, hot, and well seasoned before adding your eggs, and not a lot can go wrong.

Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large leek (white part only), chopped
1 teaspoon salt, divided, or as needed
1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
1 ½ cups (1/2-inch) sliced zucchini
1 ½ cups (1/2-inch) pieces asparagus
1 cup baby spinach
1 ½ cups sliced cooked potatoes
12 large eggs
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces crumbled goat-milk feta cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook leek with a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally, until leeks soften and start to turn translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add jalapeno and zucchini; season with pinch of salt. Cook until zucchini start to get tender and pale green, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until bright green, about 1 minute. Add spinach and another pinch of salt, cooking until wilted, 1 minute. Stir in cooked potatoes and heat through, about 5 minutes.
  • Crack 12 large eggs into a bowl. Add cayenne, salt, and pepper. Whisk for at least 30 seconds. Pour eggs into over vegetables in skillet over medium heat. Add 3 ounces of crumbled goat cheese; stir lightly until evenly distributed. Top with remaining cheese. Remove from heat.
  • Bake in preheated oven until eggs are set, 12 to 15 minutes. When nearly set, turn on broiler. Broil frittata until top browns, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool slightly; serve warm.
