Spring Vegetable Frittata
Easter weekend is here, and that means gathering around the table with the people you love—and a dish that makes you look like you’ve got it all together (even if you threw it together 30 minutes before guests arrived).
This Spring Vegetable Frittata is exactly that: easy, elegant, and totally customizable with whatever’s fresh at the Co-op. It’s light enough to balance out those heavier dishes, and hearty enough to stand on its own for a vegetarian main course.
Plus, it’s a celebration of all things local and in season—from bright green asparagus and leafy spring spinach to local pasture-raised eggs and tangy goat cheese.
Spring Vegetable Frittata
Serves: 6
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
-
8 large eggs (grab ’em fresh from a local farm stand at the Co-op!)
-
1/4 cup milk or plant-based alternative
-
1 tbsp olive oil or butter
-
1/2 bunch asparagus, chopped into 1-inch pieces
-
1 cup spinach or arugula, roughly chopped
-
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
-
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
-
1/4 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta
-
Salt & pepper to taste
-
Optional: chopped herbs (parsley, dill, chives)
How To Make It:
-
Preheat oven to 375°F.
-
In a medium oven-safe skillet (cast iron is perfect), heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté onion for 2–3 minutes until softened.
-
Add asparagus and cook another 3–4 minutes until bright green. Stir in spinach and cook just until wilted. Remove from heat.
-
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and herbs. Pour the mixture over the veggies in the skillet. Scatter tomatoes and cheese on top.
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the frittata is puffed and set in the center. Let cool slightly before slicing.
Co-op Shopping Tips:
-
Swing by the local produce section for freshly harvested greens and asparagus.
-
Our dairy and egg section features pasture-raised eggs and Virginia-made cheeses.
-
Hit up the bulk section for herbs and spices to elevate the flavor without extra packaging.
Serving Ideas:
Serve your frittata warm or at room temp with a side salad, fresh fruit, or roasted potatoes. It’s equally great for a low-key Easter brunch or Monday meal prep if you’re planning to keep it chill this year.
