- 1 red onion peeled and finely diced
- 2 tbsps olive oil
- 1 cup frozen peas defrosted
- 1 cup frozen broad beans defrosted and skinned
- 6 eggs beaten
- 2 tbsps fresh sage finely chopped
- 3/4 cup Pamesan grated
Peel and finely dice the red onion. Add the olive oil to the pan and fry on low for about 5 mins until the onion is softened.
Peel the broad beans and combine with the defrosted peas and fresh sage
Beat the eggs and add half the Parmesan to the mixture.
Combine the broad bean and egg mixes and season.
Pour the egg mix into the pan with the red onion.
Cook on a medium heat for 5 mins until it starts to set. Then add the aspargus spears, pressing them down into the frittata.
Cook for another 10 minutes or until almost completely set. Sprinkle over the remaining asparagus, then transfer to under the grill and cook on low for about 5 mins until the top is set and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and check if the frittata is set by gently pressing the top. If it's still not set, replace in the oven for a few more minutes if necessary.
Run a knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the frittata. Then take a spatula and slide under the frittata and slide out onto a board.
Cut into quarters and serve with rocket lightly dressed in olive oil.
