  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Heat oil in heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Cook leek with a pinch of salt, stirring occasionally, until leeks soften and start to turn translucent, 5 to 6 minutes. Add jalapeño and zucchini; season with pinch of salt. Cook until zucchini starts to get tender and pale green, about 5 minutes. Add asparagus and cook until bright green, about 1 minute. Add spinach and another pinch of salt, cooking until wilted, 1 minute. Stir in cooked potatoes and heat through, about 5 minutes.
  • Crack eggs into a bowl. Add cayenne, salt, and pepper. Whisk for at least 30 seconds. Pour eggs into the skillet with vegetables over medium heat. Add 3 ounces crumbled goat cheese; stir lightly until evenly distributed. Top with remaining cheese. Remove from heat.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are set, 12 to 15 minutes. When nearly set, turn on the broiler. Broil frittata until top browns, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool slightly; serve warm.
