Recipe: Frittata

By ResLifeCheryl 05 Dec 2023

We've put together a selection of good value, easy to cook recipes for you, that feed four people. Use the video to cook along, or you can follow the steps below.

Take it in turns with your housemates to cook for each other and enjoy sharing a meal together. You'll also save energy by batch cooking rather than all making your meals separately.

Ingredients:

2 potatoes
2 onions
3 eggs
3 peppers
50g cheese

Store Cupboard staples – oil, seasoning, splash of milk, garlic and spices of your choice 

Seasoning: salt, pepper, spices of your choice – maybe smoked paprika and garlic
Optional:

Method:

Peel and finely dice the onion and potatoes (these should be the size of a 1cm square)
Finely grate or chop 2 cloves of garlic
Dice your pepper
Add water to a pot and bring to the boil
Once boiling add your potatoes and boil for 5 mins or until tender - once boiled drain and set aside
Heat a pan with some oil in
Add your garlic and onions and fry until soft
Once they are soft and browned a little, add your pepper and boiled potatoes and cook until soft
Whilst this is cooking, mix your eggs and milk together and pour it into the pan to almost cover everything
Top the pan with the grated cheese
Don't mix but continue to cook until the egg mixture has set ensuring it doesn't stick to the pan
Remove the pan from the heat
Add grated cheese over the top, and place on low heat under the grill until browned - the eggs should take no longer than 10 mins.

Serving suggestions:

Eat hot or eat it the next day cold. Lovely with a side salad or on its own.

If you fancy a spicy version cook the potatoes with curry powder and add some chilli.

Great to share with friends for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Add chopped ham or cooked chicken if you want to make it a meat option.
