Learning to make a frittata should be on everyone’s cooking agenda. A frittata ticks all the right boxes for a meal that’s cheap, quick and easy to prepare, and suits any time of day. All you need are a few eggs, leftover veggies and some crumbled feta for extra creaminess.
The recipe is simple to prepare, however there are a couple of things to remember to make sure you get it right.
It’s important to fry vegetables with a high water content in the pan before adding the eggs, as this will prevent moisture from watering down the egg mixture. Fry vegetables like zucchini, mushrooms and tomatoes for a few minutes to release and evaporate any liquid.
Like most cooking, seasoning is crucial to lift the flavour profile of your dish. When cooking frittata—make sure you season the egg mixture before adding to the pan to ensure flavour penetrates the entire frittata.
Next time you find yourself asking the dreaded question, "What should I cook tonight?,” this recipe will be your saving grace.
Preparation
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet and fry the chopped onion and courgette until cooked through and the moisture is removed.
- Add the eggs to the skillet and crumble the feta on top. Cover the skillet and cook until the edges begin to set.
- Gently lift the edge of the frittata with a spatula and tilt the pan to allow the uncooked egg mixture to run into the bottom of the pan. Continue to do this as the eggs cook.
- Cook until the centre is set. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle some fresh parsley on top.
- Serve with fresh crispy bread.
