Broad Bean Frittata
Description
The Broad Bean Frittata features shelled broad beans boiled until tender and mixed with beaten eggs and heavy cream for richness. Chopped spring onions and fresh mint introduce herbal notes, while Parmesan cheese brings a subtle salty bite. Seasoned with salt and pepper, this mixture is cooked first on the stovetop until the edges set and then transferred to the oven to finish baking through.
The resulting frittata has a tender yet firm texture with creamy pockets from the eggs and beans. The fresh herbs lift the dish, making it feel light and aromatic. Topping with remaining Parmesan adds a piquant finish and slight crust.
This dish can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature and makes a wholesome option for breakfast, lunch, or a light dinner. It pairs well with a fresh salad or crusty bread for a satisfying meal.
