  • 105 mins

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing
  • 3/4 pound asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 medium white onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 zucchini, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • Pepper
  • 3/4 cup thawed frozen peas
  • 8 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons chopped mint
  • 12 large eggs

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°. Coat a 2 1/2-quart baking dish with olive oil. In a medium saucepan of salted boiling water, blanch the asparagus until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water; drain well.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the onion and zucchini and season with salt and pepper. Cook over moderate heat, stirring, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the peas and asparagus until heated through. Transfer the vegetables to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and let cool slightly. Spread the vegetables in the prepared baking dish. Scatter the goat cheese and mint on top.

In a bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Pour the eggs over the vegetables and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, until golden and set. Let cool for 30 minutes, then serve warm or at room temperature.
