Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C or 180°C fan-forced. Lightly spray a 11cm x 33cm (base measurement) rectangular fluted flan tin with oil.

  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, for 3–5 minutes or until softened. Transfer to a plate.
  4. Cook peas, beans and asparagus, in batches, in a small saucepan of boiling water for 1–2 minutes or until bright green and just tender. Drain and refresh in a large bowl of cold water. Drain.
  5. Reduce oven to 180°C or 160°C fan-forced. Whisk eggs and milk in a medium bowl until combined. Stir in parmesan and mint. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Spoon onion mixture, beans and peas into pastry case. Sprinkle with ricotta. Arrange asparagus widthways over ricotta. Pour over egg mixture. Bake for 40–45 minutes or until filling is set and golden. Set aside in tin for 10 minutes. Cut into slices to serve.
