Tasty Frittata Recipe

Probably the most versatile egg dish going. Use up leftovers or just make up something completely new!

Ingredients:

  • 6 Cornish eggs
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (or cream for a richer frittata)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup (120g) shredded cheese (such as cheddar, mozzarella, or feta)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup (100g) spinach leaves
  • 1/2 cup (60g) cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Optional: fresh herbs like parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the vegetables:
    • In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
    • Add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they soften.
    • Add the spinach and cook for another 2-3 minutes until it wilts.
    • Add the cherry tomatoes and cook for an additional minute.
  3. Prepare the egg mixture:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined.
    • Stir in the shredded cheese and any fresh herbs you like.
  4. Combine and cook:
    • Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet.
    • Stir gently to ensure the eggs and vegetables are evenly distributed.
    • Let the frittata cook on the stove for 2-3 minutes, until the edges start to set.
  5. Bake the frittata:
    • Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
    • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the center and slightly golden on top.
  6. Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
    • Slice into wedges and serve warm, garnished with extra herbs if desired.

Tips:

  • You can add other vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or asparagus based on your preference.
  • For added protein, include cooked bacon, ham, or sausage in the frittata.
