Preheat the oven to 475F

Cut a large round piece of parchment paper to be able to insert into a cast iron pan (see image below). If your pan is well seasoned this is not necessary. We prefer this method since it is easier to work with the finished socca. And of course your is no issue with sticking to pan.

Coat the pan with a tablespoon of oil and insert the parchment paper so it completely sits in the pan. Put a tablespoon of oil onto the top of the parchment paper and add the socca mixture.

Bake in the oven at 475F until the sides start to pull away from the parchment paper and socca is cooked through-- usually 17-20 minutes.

Remove from oven and move the socca from the parchment onto a plate. Brush the socca lightly with olive oil. In a safe location blow torch the socca to give a charred coaingt. Do not use the blowtorch with the parchment paper since the paper easily burns.
