1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup ricotta cheese

2 tablespoons prepared pesto, plus more for garnish
-
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Whisk eggs, Parmesan cheese, half and half, ricotta, pesto, thyme, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.

Place vegetables in a microwave-safe bowl; cook on High in the microwave until thawed, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well.

Melt butter in an ovenproof nonstick skillet. Add garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add steamed vegetables, and toss to coat.

From the Editor:
Duck eggs can be found at farmer's markets. They are larger than chicken eggs, and the yolks are proportionately larger, so they are more rich. You'll need about 8 large chicken eggs to substitute for 6 duck eggs.
