Green goodness frittata
4 serves
15 m prep
50 m cook
Ingredients
1 bunch broccolini, ends trimmed
2 small zucchinis
2 tablespoons olive oil (see tips)
2 leeks, trimmed, thinly sliced
½ cup frozen peas, thawed
2 cloves garlic, crushed
8 eggs
¾ cup shredded fresh basil
150g drained, marinated feta in herbs and oil, coarsely crumbled
Garden salad with avocado, to serve
Method
Lightly spray an 18cm x 28cm slice pan with oil and line with baking paper, extending paper 2cm above pan edges. Cut floret tops from broccolini and thinly slice stems. Chop 1 zucchini into 1cm pieces. Slice remaining zucchini lengthways into thin strips.
Heat oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add leek. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until soft.
Add peas, garlic, chopped zucchini, broccolini stems and florets. Cook, stirring, for a further 3-5 minutes, until vegetables are just tender. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. Meanwhile, place zucchini strips in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and microwave on HIGH (100%) for 1 minute or until just tender. Drain.
Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Season with pepper. Stir in vegetable mixture, basil and half the feta. Transfer mixture to prepared pan and spread evenly.
Arrange zucchini strips on top. Lightly press into mixture. Scatter over remaining feta. Bake in a 180°C preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, until set and golden. Stand for 10 minutes, then use lining paper to lift frittata onto a chopping board. Cut into pieces. Serve with salad.
Tips
- Check labels on feta and choose a brand marinated in a heart-healthy oil, such as olive or canola. To reduce waste, use this oil to cook the leeks in step 2.
- Frittata can also be cooked in a rectangular ovenproof dish. Lightly spray dish with olive oil before adding mixture. Serve frittata in dish.
- Store any leftover frittata in a container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add cold to lunchboxes or reheat in microwave to serve.
- Fresh basil can be replaced with fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried Italian herb blend, if preferred.
