Frittatas are a fantastic option for a quick, healthy meal. They’re incredibly versatile and allow you to get creative by using the ingredients you have on hand. Here’s a basic recipe for making a delicious frittata:
Ingredients
- 8 – 10 eggs
- ¼ – ⅓ cup milk or cream
- 1-2 cup cooked vegetables (e.g., onion, capsicum, zucchini, mushrooms, spinach, potato, pumpkin)
- ½ cup cheese (e.g., cheddar, feta, blue cheese)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees fan bake.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk or cream, salt and pepper; set aside.
- Add cooked vegetables to the dish which you are cooking the frittata in and pour the egg mixture over. Gently stir the mixture to ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed.
- Sprinkle the cheese on top of the frittata.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the middle and slightly golden on top.
NOTE – there may be a variance in cooking times depending on what dish you cook your frittata in. We like to cook our frittatas in a cast iron pan, note that cast iron pan conducts and retains heat and will continue to cook your frittata after you remove it from the oven. The size of your dish will change cooking time. Therefore we suggest checking on your frittata about 5 minutes before suggested cooking time, just to play it safe!
