How to Make Green Pea Timbales

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Grease six timbale molds or muffin cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the 3 large eggs with a fork until yolks and whites are just combined.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg.
  4. Add the milk mixture to the beaten eggs. Stir in the 1 cup thawed frozen peas, 1 tablespoon melted butter, 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (if using).
  5. Gently stir until all ingredients are well combined.
  6. Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared timbale molds or muffin cups.
  7. Place the molds in a larger baking pan and carefully pour enough hot water into the pan to come halfway up the sides of the molds (this creates a bain-marie for even cooking).
  8. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the timbales are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the timbales cool slightly in the molds before inverting them onto serving plates.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with 1/2 cup tomato sauce, 1/2 cup cooked sweet corn kernels, and 1/4 cup finely diced red bell pepper.
