Sformatos Recipe

Preparation Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Blanch the asparagus pieces for 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Remove and transfer to an ice bath. In the same pot, blanch the spinach for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Drain and chop coarsely. Set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Mixture

   In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, grated zucchini, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

3. 3

   Combine and Prepare for Baking

   Fold the blanched asparagus and chopped spinach into the egg mixture. Mix until evenly distributed. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

4. 4

   Bake

   Grease individual ramekins or a baking dish with butter. Pour the vegetable mixture into the prepared dishes. Place them in a baking dish filled with hot water (bain-marie) and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the sformato is set and lightly golden on top.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove the sformato from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Optionally, drizzle with additional Parmesan cream if desired.
