Ingredients

  • 8 eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 4 green onions, sliced
  • 1 cup chopped soft herbs, such as chives, parsley, dill, and tarragon
  • 1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese or feta

Steps

  1. Heat the oven broiler with a rack in the upper third.
  2. Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until no streaks remain.
  3. Melt the butter in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat and cook the green onions for 2 minutes.
  4. Stir the herbs into the eggs, then pour the mixture into the skillet.
  5. Cook 6 to 8 minutes, lifting the edges so loose egg runs underneath.
  6. Scatter with cheese and broil 2 to 4 minutes, until puffed and just set. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Pull the frittata when the centre still has a slight wobble. It will finish setting as it rests.

Pairing Serve with toast and a sharp green salad.
