Cooking Tools Required

Colander, Cutting board, Kitchen towels, Measuring cups and spoons, Mixing bowls, Oven, Oven-proof pan, Saucepan, Sharp Knives, Top Stove, Whisk

Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini medium, halved lengthwise, and sliced crosswise 1/4 inch thick
  • 6 ounce asparagus trimmed, stems sliced 1/4 inch thick on the diagonal and tips left whole
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach
  • 8 egg large
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt more or less to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper more or less to taste
  • 2 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
  • 3/4 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325° F. In a medium saucepan of salted boiling water, blanch the zucchini for a couple minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs with some of the Kosher salt and pepper. Stir in the vegetables and chives.
  • In a small bowl, season the ricotta with remaining Kosher salt and pepper.
  • In a 12-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet, heat the oil. Add the egg-vegetable mixture and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until starting to set at the edge, 3 minutes. Dot the ricotta on top. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the frittata is just set.
  • Let cool slightly, transfer to a platter, cut into wedges and serve.
