How to make it

  • Preheat oven to 350° F. and butter a 13 x 9 x 2-inch glass baking dish (3-quart).
  • Trim asparagus and diagonally cut into 1/4-inch-wide slices.
  • Cut bell peppers into 1/4-inch-wide strips and mince shallots.
  • Halve zucchini lengthwise and diagonally cut both zucchini and scallions into thin slices.
  • Have ready a bowl of ice and cold water.
  • In a large saucepan of boiling salted water blanch asparagus 1 minute and drain in a colander.
  • Immediately transfer asparagus to ice water to stop cooking. Drain asparagus well in colander and pat dry.
  • In a large skillet cook bell peppers and shallots in butter over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until peppers are softened, about 10 minutes.
  • In a large bowl whisk together eggs, cream, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Stir in asparagus, bell pepper mixture, zucchini, and scallions.
  • Pour custard into baking dish and bake in middle of oven until golden and set, about 35 minutes.
  • Cool frittata on a rack. Frittata may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
  • Bring frittata to room temperature before serving. If desired, loosen frittata from edges of pan and slide onto a platter. Serves 12 as part of a brunch menu.
  • That's it!
