cheese

Vegetable oil is more affordable and widely available.

Whisk together 8 eggs in a bowl until well combined.

Add roasted asparagus and firm goat cheese to the egg mixture.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting salt if using salty ingredients like bacon.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and move the rack to the second position from the top.

Heat a non-stick oven-proof skillet over medium to low heat and add butter until melted.

Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and use a heat-proof spatula to gently pull the frittata away from the edges as it sets.

Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the edges are set but the middle is still slightly watery.

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 7-10 minutes until the middle has set.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing.

Slice and serve warm or chilled.
