Asparagus-and-Zucchini Frittata
Ingredients
- 2 inch medium zucchini halved lengthwise and sliced crosswise 1/4thick
- 180 g asparagus—trimmed stems sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal and tips left whole
- 8 large free range eggs
- Sea salt flakes
- Pepper
- 3/4 cup fresh ricotta
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180c.
- In a medium saucepan of salted boiling water, blanch the zucchini and asparagus for 1 minute, then drain well and pat dry.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Stir in the vegetables. In a bowl, season the ricotta with salt and pepper.
- In a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick fry pan, heat the oil. Add the egg-vegetable mixture and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until starting to set at the edge, 3 minutes. Dot the ricotta on top.
- Transfer the pan to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the frittata is just set. Let cool slightly, transfer to a platter, cut into wedges and serve.
