Courgette, blue cheese and pea frittata
Hello folks! I tried this recipe from delicious out last week and have just got time to upload the info now. It was a very simple, tasty and satisfying vegetarian option. I am trying to cut down on my meat intake for a few reasons, mainly financial at the moment! Saving for lots of traveling so i can't complain! This is one of the veggie meals I have tried and tested and its definately going into my recipe book for keeps.
Ingredients:
350g new potatoes, halved if large
2tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
2 courgettes, thinly sliced
6 large free-range eggs
100g cooked frozen peas
100g blue cheese
Method:
1. Cook the potatoes in a pan of salted, boiling water for about 15 mins. Drain and, when cool, thinly slice. Then heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan, add the onion and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes, then add the courgettes, cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until golden.
2. Preheat the grill to High. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and stir in the potatoes, courgette mixture, cooked peas and blue cheese. Season to taste. Add the mixture to an oiled frying pan and cook on a medium heat, on the hob, for about 5 minutes, until almost set.
3. Place the Frittata under the hot grill for 5 minutes or until golden and set. Cut into wedges and serve alone or with a crisp green salad.
Enjoy!!
