Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
500 gm fresh asparagus spears, ends trimmed and chopped
7 eggs
1/2 cup cream
3 spring onions, sliced
1 cup grated tasty cheese
1/3 cup plain flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
Salt and pepper – to taste
Directions
- Heat oven to 200c and line the base of a 20cm x 30cm dish with baking paper and spray sides generously with baking spray.
- Heat a frying pan over medium heat with olive oil, then add the chopped asparagus, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for a few minutes until just starting to soften. Add the spring onions and cook for a minute, then remove from the heat.
- In a large bowl mix the flour, baking powder and a pinch of salt together. Add one egg and beat well with a whisk until all smooth. Add the remaining eggs and the cream and whisk well. Fold through the cheese and half of the sauteed asparagus and spring onion mixture.
- Gently pour the egg mix into the prepared baking dish and arrange the rest of the sauteed vegetables on the top in a single layer. Cook for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and puffed up and set in the centre. Remove from the oven and leave to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before removing from the tin to slice and serve.
