Ingredients

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°.
2. Crack eggs into a medium sized bowl. Add milk and whisk until completely combined. Set aside until ready to use.
3. Heat olive oil in a 10 inch oven safe non-stick pan or a very well seasoned cast iron pan. Add sliced mushrooms and allow them to cook, without stirring, for 5 minutes. Stir, sprinkle with ⅛ teaspoon of kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes or until well browned, stirring as needed. Remove mushrooms from the pan and set aside until ready to use.
4. Add leeks and asparagus to hot pan and cook for 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes or until leeks are soft and asparagus is just beginning to become tender. Season with ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
5. Add mushrooms to the asparagus mixture and stir to combine. Pour egg mixture over vegetables and give the eggs a quick stir to evenly distribute the ingredients.
6. Cook frittata for two minutes, without stirring and place in the oven. Cook for 15 minutes or until the eggs are just set. Let frittata rest for 5 minutes before removing from the pan.
7. When ready to serve, toss arugula with lemon juice. Crumble goat cheese over the frittata and top with lemony arugula, leaving any remaining lemon juice behind. Serve hot, room temperature or even cold with a side of simple roasted potatoes.
