Cupboard Love Vitality Frittata
Mar 21, 2022Cooking Time: 30 mins Prep Time: 15 mins Serves: 4 people
This is a Thursday night staple in our home as we use up whatever veggies are in the fridge to get ready for a new delivery on Friday or the Farmers Markets on Saturday. This recipe is very forgiving and just add what's in the fridge / cupboard. I usually try to match my flavours and leave out what I know the boys will munch on raw. With a large family you may want to double the recipe, and its great to take to work as leftovers for lunch.
Ingredients
- 2 leeks, washed finely sliced, or 1 onion sliced thinly in rounds
- 2 -3 generous tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 bunch kale, or zucchini or whatever greens you have, washed trimmed and finely shredded / chopped
- 1 large handful baby spinach leaves (if you have them spare)
- 2 cups of pre-roasted vegetables - pumpkin is best but you may like to use carrots, sweet potato or any left over cooked roast or even steamed vegetables
- 8 organic eggs (2 per person)
- Optional additional protein: 415 gram tin pink salmon, drained and broken up into chunks (optional), cooked chicken pieces, fried off quality bacon or ham*
- Sea salt and black pepper to season
- 1 lemon juiced (optional but I do recommend trying it especially if you add a tin of salmon)
- small handful pine-nuts
Method
- Preheat oven to 165 C
- Sauté leeks or onions in a large heavy based fry pan with olive oil until softened.
- Add greens and cook through for 5 minutes until soft and wilted.
- Add baby spinach leaves and cook through until just wilted.
- Spoon the mixture into a 22 cm by 26 cm backing dish.
- Add roasted vegetables.
- Break eggs into a bowl. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice, and whisk lightly to combine.
- Pour the eggs over the mixture with any additional protein if using, and gently incorporate through.
- Sprinkle over with a few pine-nuts.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until firm to touch and golden.
- Remove from the oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy.
Notes and Inspiration
This is what was left over in my fridge, though add whatever you have, it is very forgiving. Please note I got a little too excited with the pine nuts, you don't need to add that many. ;)
Will keep in the fridge up to 3 days.
Serve with a big green salad.
*If you are on the Lifelong Vitality Gut Health Reset then, do not add additional protein.
