2. Prepare the Radishes: Rinse the radishes well, then slice them thinly. The radishes’ mild, peppery taste will add a wonderful crunch to the frittata.

3. Cook the Vegetables: Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the finely chopped shallots and cook for a minute until fragrant. Add the sliced carrots and cook for about 2 minutes. Next, add the asparagus rounds, cooking for another 5 minutes until tender. Finally, add the sliced radishes, mixing them into the vegetables. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Allow the mixture to cook for a few more minutes until everything is tender. Let the vegetables cool slightly.

4. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, crack the eggs and beat them together. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to the eggs. Mix in the grated Grana Padano DOP cheese, which will add a rich, nutty flavor to the frittata.

5. Combine Eggs and Vegetables: Once the vegetables have cooled, add them to the egg mixture. Stir everything together until well combined.

6. Bake the Frittata: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly. Decorate the top with the reserved asparagus tips for a visually appealing touch.

7. Cook and Serve: Bake the frittata in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top. Let the frittata cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Tips for the Perfect Radish Frittata:

• Egg Texture: For an extra creamy texture, feel free to use a little bit of cream or milk in the egg mixture.
• Vegetable Variations: Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers. These will blend wonderfully with the radishes, creating a new flavor profile.
• Serving Suggestion: This frittata is best served warm or at room temperature, making it a great option for brunch, picnics, or even as a light dinner.
