Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spring onions and asparagus tips, sautéing for 3–5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
  3. Blend 6 large eggs, a quarter cup of water or milk, minced garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper until frothy.
  4. Wipe out the skillet and drizzle a small amount of olive oil to coat the bottom and sides.
  5. Pour the blended egg mixture into the skillet, folding in half of the sautéed vegetables and mozzarella. Bake for 8–10 minutes until edges firm up.
  6. Add the remaining vegetables and mozzarella, then bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until puffed and golden.
  7. Sprinkle chopped tarragon, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
