Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 4 ounces goat cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 medium, finely diced shallot
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Set aside.
Finely chop the fresh parsley, chives, and thyme, then add them to the egg mixture. Mix well.
Crumble the goat cheese into small pieces and set aside.
Heat the olive oil and butter in an ovenproof, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced shallot to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and translucent.
Pour the egg and herb mixture into the skillet. Gently stir for 1-2 minutes to evenly distribute the shallots.
Scatter the crumbled goat cheese evenly across the surface of the frittata.
Cook the frittata on the stovetop for 3-4 minutes until the edges begin to set, but the center remains slightly runny.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Slice into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy your Herb and Goat Cheese Frittata!
