Ingredients:
– 6 large eggs
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1/2 cup thinly sliced onion
– 1 clove garlic, minced
– 2 cups shelled broad beans (fresh or frozen)
– Salt, to taste
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese, black pepper, and salt, and whisk together until well combined.
3. Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes or until softened.
4. Add the broad beans and cook for another 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are tender.
5. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and using a fork or spatula, gently stir until the beans are evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
6. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the frittata is set and the top is lightly browned.
7. Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Loosen the edges of the frittata with a rubber spatula and transfer it to a cutting board.
8. Roll the frittata into a tight roll and place it on a serving plate.
9. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.
