Frittata Bake

Frittata is a wonderful egg based dish similar to an omelet or a quiche enriched with further ingredients such as meats, cheeses, vegetables or pasta. They are served in wedges and are easily transportable for lunch. I use this recipe all the time with variations such as asparagus, salmon, tuna, pumpkin and sweet potato.

Ingredients Serves 6

½  onion (100g)

6 mushrooms (200g)

½ red capsicum (200g)

100g broccoli

100g green beans

50g peas

½ tsp salt

Pinch white pepper

Pinch of ground nutmeg

600g fresh cream

12 eggs (600ml)

Preheat oven to 160ºC.

Chop onion, slice mushrooms and dice capsicum. Place in a greased 20cm round baking mould or ceramic dish.

Add broccoli, green beans and peas.

Whisk eggs and cream together, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.

Pour egg mixture over the vegetables.

Put dish on a baking tray in the middle of the oven and bake for approx. 105 min.

Sprinkle with grated cheddar cheese and bake for 10 min.

Allow to cool for 15 min. cut into portions, serve hot with crispy bread.

Note: Cover leftover frittata in food wrap, store in fridge and reheat for lunch or dinner served with a side salad.
