1

Per prima cosa ripulisci le fave: toglile dai baccelli, privale dell'escrescenza alla base e sbuccia i semi della pellicina esterna che le ricopre.

2

Trita finemente la cipolla, falla appassire in padella poi unisci le fave e lascia cuocere per circa 5 minuti, poi spegni la fiamma e lascia intiepidire.

3

Trita finemente qualche ciuffo di mentuccia, in una ciotola sguscia le uova, condisci con il formaggio grattugiato, un pizzico di sale, pepe nero e la mentuccia tritata. Sbatti bene con una frusta per far amalgamare il composto, poi unisci anche le fave.

4

Rivesti uno stampo da 22-24 cm con carta forno e versa la frittata al suo interno. Cuoci in forno ventilato preriscaldato a 180ยฐC per circa 15 minuti. Trascorso il tempo di cottura, estrai la frittata di fave dal forno e gustala calda o a temperatura ambiente.
