Asparagus, Spinach, and Feta Cheese Frittata Recipe
I hope you are not sick of asparagus yet, because I have a tasty frittata recipe to share with you today. A few weeks ago I made a lemon orzo salad with asparagus, spinach, and feta. It is my new favorite spring salad. Josh requested a frittata the other day and I used the salad as my flavor inspiration.
I used a mixture of egg whites and one whole egg. I added in garlic, asparagus, spinach, green onions, and feta cheese. I cooked everything on the stove and then popped it in the oven to finish things off. I love how simple frittatas are to make and there are few dishes to do too:)
This frittata is very springy! I love the green colors. We both enjoyed this meal. This frittata would be great for Mother’s Day brunch, add it to your menu today!

Asparagus, Spinach, and Feta Cheese Frittata
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
6 egg whites
1 large egg
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
6 asparagus spears, tough ends removed and cut into 1 inch pieces
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
2 green onions, sliced
1/4 cup feta cheese
Salt and pepper, to tasteDirections:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites and egg. Set aside.
2. In a small frying pan, heat up the olive oil. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes on medium heat. Add the asparagus, spinach, and green onions. Cook until the asparagus is tender and the spinach is wilted.
3. Pour the egg mixture over the asparagus, spinach, and onions. Sprinkle in half of the cheese. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on low heat.
4. When the eggs are mostly set, sprinkle the fritatta with the rest of the feta cheese. Put the pan into the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the fritatta is firm and the cheese is melted.
5. Cut fritatta into wedges and serve.
*Note-make sure you use an oven safe pan.

Sick of asparagus? Never! Looks awesome. I love that there are more veggies than eggs. And feta is a great addition- maybe goat cheese would be yummy too?
We love frittatas over here! Such a balanced meal, it is nice to add some yolk for color, texture and flavor. This recipe is great any time of day.
That looks so yummy – I love feta with my eggs!
I’ve never had a frittata before but it looks quite tasty!
This looks great! Mmm yum I could eat that right now!
This looks oh-so-good! You should link up to Tuesday Tastes!

Keep the asparagus recipes coming – it’s my favorite veggie! Your frittata looks wonderful.
It look really tasty; I only have to wait for asparagus season; I saw them already, but still awfully expensive (20-30 euro per kilo, depending on type and size;)
I’ve got some asparagus I can’t wait to play around with in my fridge today! Your frittata looks great!
Such a classic spring dish!
Maria, this looks really terrific! I would really like to try this.
I’d love to eat that frittata for supper! A yummy combination!
Cheers,
Rosa
This looks amazing!
I love the bright color. It even looks healthy.
I love frittatas too – so easy, healthy and versatile! I’ll never get sick of them. This one looks fabulous.
I could eat asparagus, spinach, and feta cheese every day! Awesome Frittata!
This sounds so yummy! I have asparagus, spinach and feta in my refrigerator right now. Sounds like I have dinner planned for tonight. Thanks Maria!
This frittata reminds me of spring! I love the ingredients. It looks packed full of flavor!
I JUST got home from the grocery store with some beautiful asparagus and no real plan for it. Now I have a plan (actually, two plans – this frittata and that salad!) This looks incredible!
YUMMY! I could go for a piece of that right now. Love that little bundle of asparagus in the first shot!
Yum yum yum! Looks great!
I’ve been cooking more with egg whites. Love the pix!
My favorite way is to cook with brown sugar. YUM.
love everything you’ve put in there. i have a jar of feta that needs to be used up. maybe i should give this a go!
Yum! I am not a huge fan of asparagus myself, so this is a great way to sneak some in.
Asparagus is one of my favorites but will always play second fiddle to broccoli. I often make eggs with whites and a yolk or two thrown in. Can barely tell the difference. Love this!
I am pretty sure that I mentioned last time how I have this little addiction problem with Feta…So you are sort of sending me over the edge here. Man…why oh why don’t you live closer? That is SPECTACULAR!
thanks for the reminder of the lemon orzo salad. I was looking for something just like that to make.
I’m pretty sure I could never tire of asparagus. This frittata looks delicious, especially with the feta. What a great lunch, dinner, brunch, whatever!
This looks fantastic. I love to use asparagus in frittatas!
LOVE all the green in that frittata! …and don’t even get me started on that orzo salad..just wait til you read my post about our take on it
Great combo! I <3 fritattas and yours looks especially deeeelish!
We love asparagus and frittatas here. This version is beautiful. I think we will have a frittata tonight with the leftover veggies I roasted last night, which include asparagus. Thanks for the idea to add feta!
We’re huge frittata fans as well! Such an easy, healthy and quick weeknight meal!
Green looks great in a frittata! I’ve made asparagus AND spinach frittatas, both with Feta and often with some chopped dill in the mix….a Spring fling on a plate.
this sounds like the perfect way to use the feta in my fridge
Perfect spring fritatta
Josh and I make a really similar frittata but haven’t tried it with feta before. We both love feta! We’ll have to try this next tim ‘ e.
i don’t think i could every get sick of asparagus! bring it on! and…FETA oh feta. more please!
So pretty and PACKED with asparagus, Maria! Thank you for the link.
even as a shmuck who doesn’t like asparagus, i have to compliment you on the beauty of your creation–i love the look of the sliced spears!
