Ingredients
- 1 thin leek Note 2
- 1 cup frozen peas defrosted
- 1 small bunch of each parsley chives and oregano
- a few sprigs of each thyme basil and sage
- 8 eggs large
- ½ cup milk
- 4 tablespoons parmesan freshly grated , divided
- A dash of nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt more to taste
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Prepare: Remove the peas from the freezer and let thaw on a large plate at least partially until you prepare the rest; about 15 minutes should be fine. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.1 cup frozen peas/ 150 g
- Chop: Clean the leek and chop it. Set aside. Chop all the herbs finely. Set aside separately from the leeks. Grate the Parmesan and set aside as well.1 thin leek + 1 small bunch of each parsley + a few sprigs of each thyme
- Beat the eggs in a large bowl, add the milk, 3 tablespoons of the grated Parmesan, and nutmeg. Adjust the taste generously with salt and pepper. Fold in the peas and the herbs.8 eggs + ½ cup milk/ 125 ml + 4 tablespoons Parmesan + a dash of nutmeg + ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt + ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- Cook: Heat the cast-iron skillet and melt the butter in it. Cook the leeks for a few minutes until bits of it are golden brown. Add the egg mixture, turn the heat to low, and stir very gently and superficially just to make sure that the vegetables and the herbs are evenly distributed all over the pan.Let the frittata cook until the bottom side sets, but the top is still uncooked, about 3-4 minutes. Check the underside by lifting it very carefully with a spatula; it should be golden. Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan on top.1 tablespoon butter
- Bake: Place the pan in the hot oven. Finish cooking the eggs for about 10-13 minutes or until set on top and golden brown.
- Or broil: You can also place the eggs under the hot grill and leave them for about 5-6 minutes or until golden brown and set on top. If cooking under the grill, don't leave the pan unattended; depending on the grill, the browning can get very quickly depending on the grill.
