Looking for a healthy meal, that can easily manipulate dependent on your food cravings, that is very quick and easy to make and also tastes great. Look no further than my frittata recipes. If, like me, you aren’t amazing in the kitchen, but you want to eat as healthily as possible with little effort then these frittata recipes are perfect for you.
Here is the simplest recipe you’ll ever follow, in my opinion a frittata for taste, variety and nutritional content is still amazing though.
Template frittata method
1. Prepare the filling for your frittata – if it is the vegetable option you go for, chop your vegetable into decent size chunks.
2. In pan, fry off the veg, make sure you give the onions/pepper/courgettes more time to cook than you do the mushrooms/tomatoes.
3. Fry until the vegetable are softened to your individual taste – for me its only take about 5 minutes of total time on the heat.
4. Whilst the veg is cooling slightly, break 5-8 eggs into a jug and beat well.
5. In a baking dish combine the egg and the veg.
6. To make this dish a little bit more indulgent, crumble a soft cheese such as feta on top.
7. Season to taste…
This recipe can be slightly altered dependent on what type of frittata you fancy making. If you go for meat, remember to cook the meat off before you can the veg.
Vegetable frittata recipe
– 1 courgette, sliced
– 10 cherry tomatoes, hlaved
– 1 pepper, sliced
– 10 button mushrooms, sliced

Meat frittata

Obviously these are just two frittata recipes I use – sometimes I have a play around with adding a homemade guacamole to accompany the frittata also sometimes I add a teaspoon of chilli pesto. Please get creative with this – although very simple sometimes you cant beat a bit simplicity in busy week!
