→ For Cooking

13 - 2 tablespoons olive oil
14 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

# How-To:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F.
02 - In a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat, warm olive oil and add chopped red onion. Sauté for 2 to 3 minutes until softened.
03 - Add trimmed asparagus and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender. Add spinach and cook until wilted, approximately 1 minute.
04 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and half of the chives and dill until well combined.
05 - Reduce heat to low. Pour egg mixture evenly over the vegetables in the skillet. Distribute crumbled goat cheese evenly across the surface and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
06 - Cook undisturbed for 4 to 5 minutes until edges begin to set but the center remains slightly runny.
07 - Transfer skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the frittata is just set in the center with a light golden top.
08 - Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with remaining fresh herbs and a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired.
09 - Slice into wedges and serve warm or at room temperature.
