You seriously cannot go wrong with a frittata. It’s just the perfect meal for any time of the day, it’s so quick and easy to prepare, you can make it with anything you have lying around, and you can make a big batch and have leftovers for days.
There are so many things you can do to make a frittata delicious, but this is my all-time favourite - it tastes just like a pizza but has all the nutritious goodness a pizza is somewhat lacking.
For a vegetarian version just omit the bacon.
Ingredients:
8 eggs
1 red onion, finely diced
1 red bell pepper, diced
100g mushrooms, chopped
100g cherry tomatoes, halved
50g baby spinach
100g bacon medallions/ lean bacon, finely diced
100g shredded mozzarella
100g pizza sauce
15ml olive oil
Splash of milk
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
Salt & pepper to taste
Method:
Preheat the oven to 190 º C, Gas mark 5 or 375 F.
Heat the olive oil in a deep oven-proof pan or skillet and sauté the bacon on a medium-high heat until cooked.
Add in the onion and sauté until soft, then add in the other vegetables.
While the veggies are cooking, whisk the eggs and milk in a bowl and season with the salt, pepper and herbs.
Once the vegetables have softened, pour the eggs into the pan and allow to cook until the edges have started to set, approximately 5-8 minutes.
Dollop the pizza sauce all over the egg mixture and then top with cheese.
Place in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is set and golden brown.
Serve hot or cold with your choice of salad, chips or toast.
Serves 4.
