# Steps:

01 - Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow to reach temperature.
02 - In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
03 - Add red onion and sauté for 2 minutes until softened and fragrant.
04 - Add asparagus, zucchini, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are just tender.
05 - Stir in spinach and cherry tomatoes, cooking for 1-2 minutes until spinach wilts completely.
06 - In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes until fully combined and homogeneous.
07 - Pour egg mixture evenly over vegetables in the skillet. Sprinkle feta cheese, parsley, and chives uniformly over the surface.
08 - Cook on the stovetop for 2-3 minutes until the edges begin to set and solidify.
09 - Transfer skillet to preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes until the center is completely set and the top is lightly golden brown.
10 - Allow frittata to cool slightly, slice into wedges, and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Insights:

01 -
  • It's truly one-pan, which means less time scrubbing and more time enjoying breakfast with someone you like.
  • The vegetables stay tender and the eggs stay silky, which is harder to mess up than you'd think.
  • You can eat it warm, cold, or somewhere in between, making it perfect for those unpredictable mornings.
02 -
  • Don't skip the stovetop cooking stage, because it's what prevents a soggy bottom and gives you that slight golden crust on the underside.
  • The frittata continues to cook a little after you pull it out of the oven, so take it out when the center still looks barely set, not when it's completely firm.
03 -
  • Make sure your skillet is truly oven-safe by checking the handle, because pulling a wooden or silicone handle from a 375-degree oven is a bad day waiting to happen.
  • If you don't have fresh herbs, dried work fine but use about a third of the amount, since dried herbs are more concentrated.
