'Use Up' Frittata

Pick up a bag of salad, some eggs and head for the fridge...

If you have some leftover cooked greens, smoked salmon or even some cheese, you'll love this 'use up' frittata recipe.

All sorts of combinations will work.... cheese, bacon, ham, veggies, smoked salmon, tomatoes, herbs... 

You'll need stuff like this...

Eggs of course - Enough for however many you're feeding, I cook for 2 and used 6 eggs.

Fresh ingredients

• Eggs
• Bag of salad

Everyday basics

• Onion
• Pepper
• Broccoli
• Courgette
• Mushrooms
• Cheese

What to do

1. Prep the veg
Cut whatever ingredients you're using into similar size small pieces. In a frying pan with a little olive oil over a medium heat, soften the vegetables. Onion and peppers take longest so they go in first, just a few minutes before the softer ingredients like broccoli, mushrooms and courgettes. This takes about 5-7 mins.

2. Make & cook the frittata
In a large bowl whisk the eggs, add some salt and pepper. Stir in the cooked veggies, cheese and fresh herbs if using. Mix it all together. Then, in the same pan as before, heat a dash of olive oil and pour in the eggy mixture. Leave on the hob to cook through, you can add a lid if you like? Or, start it off on the hob for 2-3 minutes and finish it off in the oven (180 fan), or under the grill, usually takes about 5-8 mins. Serve with a quick salad - or greens of your choice.
