Italian Flag Frittata recipe

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp cold-pressed olive or rapeseed oil
  • 1 leek, thinly sliced and rinsed
  • 1 punnet of cherry tomatoes
  • 3 handfuls of chopped kale, silver beet, or spinach
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
  • salt & pepper
  • 1/2 cup ricotta

Cooking Steps

  1. Heat oven to 210*C.
  2. Place oil, leek, and tomatoes in an oven-proof pan; toss to coat. Cook 10-15 minutes until tomatoes are blistered. Use this time to whisk together the eggs, milk, mustard, and salt & pepper.
  3. Remove the pan from the oven and stir in the greens. Return to the oven for a few minutes to wilt the greens.
  4. Reduce the oven to 180*C.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and gently stir to distribute everything. Dollop spoons of ricotta into the pan.
  6. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until the centre is almost set. Remove from the oven and let rest 5 minutes.
  7. Feel free to sprinkle with fresh herbs, and serve with crusty bread.
