Zucchini, Pea and Ricotta Frittata

A frittata is my go-to meal when I’m overdue for a grocery shop. If the fridge is running low, I can usually scrounge around and at least find some eggs and a couple of greens, without resorting to takeaway. It’s one recipe that can be made for breakfast, lunch or dinner. It’s also terrific for lunchboxes and can be eaten warm or cold as a snack any time of the day.

Ingredients

Method

Preheat the grill to high.

Heat the oil in a large non-stick ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for five minutes, or until softened. Add the zucchini and peas, and cook for a further two or three minutes, or until the zucchini has softened.

Whisk together the eggs and milk in a bowl, then pour over the zucchini and pea mixture in the pan, stirring gently to mix the eggs through the greens. Crumble the ricotta evenly over the top, reduce the heat to low and cook for a further six minutes, or until the egg is nearly set.

Transfer the frying pan to the grill and cook for five minutes, or until the top is set and golden.

Cut the frittata into slices and serve with fresh herbs sprinkled on top, if desired.
