One sunny morning, while wandering through a farmer's market, I stumbled upon the most fragrant lavender I had ever encountered. The air was filled with its sweet, floral scent, and an idea sparked: why not incorporate this into a savory dish? And so, the Lavender and Honey Frittata was born. It's funny how a simple ingredient can inspire such a culinary adventure!
This frittata is more than just a breakfast or brunch item; it's an experience. The delicate floral notes of lavender, combined with the sweetness of honey and the savory richness of eggs and crĆØme fraĆ®che, create a symphony of flavors that dance on your palate. Imagine serving this at your next brunch ā your guests will be utterly charmed!
What I adore about this recipe is its versatility. Feel free to adapt it to your liking ā add different vegetables, cheeses, or herbs. The key is to let the lavender and honey shine through, providing that unique twist. I've tried it with goat cheese and a sprinkle of thyme, and it was simply divine! The possibilities are endless, so don't be afraid to get creative and experiment with what you have on hand. Remember, cooking should be fun, not a chore!
This frittata is also perfect for meal prepping. You can bake it on Sunday and enjoy slices throughout the week for a quick and delicious breakfast or lunch. It's a fantastic way to add a touch of elegance to your everyday meals. And let's be honest, who wouldn't want to start their day with a slice of lavender-infused goodness?

š Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375Ā°F (190Ā°C). Make sure the rack is in the center position.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, crĆØme fraĆ®che, honey, salt, and pepper until well combined. The mixture should be light and slightly frothy.
- Heat the olive oil in a 9-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the asparagus to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until tender-crisp. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Distribute the vegetables evenly in the skillet.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables in the skillet, making sure the vegetables are evenly distributed. Sprinkle the fresh lavender flowers over the top of the frittata.
- Cook on the stovetop for about 5 minutes, or until the edges of the frittata begin to set. Then, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool in the skillet for a few minutes. This will help it set further.
- Carefully slide the frittata onto a serving plate or wooden board. Garnish with extra fresh lavender flowers and a drizzle of honey, if desired.
- Slice the frittata into wedges and serve warm. This dish is wonderful on its own or accompanied by a light salad.
š Notes
- If you don't have crĆØme fraĆ®che, sour cream or plain Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute.
- For a richer flavor, try using goat cheese in addition to the other ingredients.
