packed with vegetables, flavour and fibre - frittatas are a perfect one-pan meal and great enjoyed warm, or cold. Make sure you use the packing tip in the 'good to know' to prevent having to deal with soggy bottoms ever again
Total time to make : 1 hour Time to prep : 20 minutes
Time to bake : 30 - 40 minutes
Servings : Slices into 8
Ingredients
2 tbsp butter
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped or crushed
1 red onion, sliced in half then finely into semi-circle discs
4 springs thyme, leaves stripped
2 sweet potatoes (about 300g), finely sliced into discs
2 handfuls spinach
8 eggs, whisked
75ml any milk
50g sun-dried tomatoes
100g feta cheese
Basil to garnish
Method
Preheat a fan oven to 180C
In a large non-stick frying pan, melt the butter (or chosen cooking oil) over a medium-low heat and add in the garlic and red onion, cook for about 5 minutes. You want them to soften and caramelise, but not crisp up
Add in the thyme and the sweet potato discs, cook for another 10 minutes with a lid on over the medium-low heat, stirring to ensure even-cooking. You want them to soften but still hold a bite, not over-cooked to the point that they turn into a mash
Add in the spinach and turn the heat off or to very low and place the lid back on for a minute or two, the spinach will wilt. Stir to combine
In a large bowl (or nutribullet), whisk and combine the eggs and milk. If you’re using an oven-proof frying pan - with a metal handle - pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and make sure the vegetables are evenly distributed. If not, transfer the cooked vegetables to a casserole dish and pour the egg mixture over
Add in the sliced tomatoes and crumble over the feta
Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes, for the last 2-3 minutes I like to whack the grill on high so it gets a nice bubbly crust
Remove from the oven, let it cool before removing and then slicing into 8 slices, garnish with basil

#loveyourleftovers a great way to use any leftover roast vegetables, go for robust sturdy ones and avoid anything that holds a lot of water to stop it from going soggy (tomatoes etc.)
Good to know:
Great way to use up leftover vegetables, try a variation of fillings such as olives, grilled eggplants, diced new potatoes, peppers etc.
Will keep refrigerated for up to 3 days, so if you make one on Sunday it will still be great on Wednesday
I store mine ready sliced, in glass Tupperware and use a dry kitchen towel to line the bottom - anything which is 'moist' (cake, frittata etc.) stores better with something to sit on and soak up any excess
