• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 shallot, finely chopped, about 1/4 cup
• 2 cups shelled peas, divided
• salt
• 1/4 cup water or chicken stock
• 1 cup whole milk ricotta
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 4 large eggs
• 1/4 cup creme fraiche

• 1/4 cup finely grated young Pecorino cheese
• 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh mint
• 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
• 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1. Preheat oven to 375u0b0 F. Butter a 9-inch springform pan and wrap bottom with foil to prevent any leakage.
2. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add shallots and cook until softened, one minute. Add peas and 1 teaspoon salt; saute briefly to coat. Add water or stock. Cook until peas are tender and liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Transfer half of the peas to a bowl of a food processor; puree. Add ricotta and nutmeg; pulse to blend. Add eggs one at a time, blending well after each addition. Transfer to a bowl. Whisk in creme fraiche, 1/4 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, and Pecorino cheeses. Stir in remaining peas, mint, lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper.
4. Pour eggs into prepared springform pan. Sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese. Bake in oven until edges are golden brown and center is puffed and cooked through, about 30-35 minutes. Remove and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
