Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil
  • ½ Onion - chopped
  • 1 Leeks - sliced
  • 1 Bell Pepper - sliced into 1 inch strips
  • 10 Cherry Tomatoes - rough amount - a handful
  • ½ bunch Kale - stemmed and thinly sliced
  • Soft Herbs - I used dill but mint, parsley or cilantro all work well, washed and chopped
  • 8 Eggs
  • ¼ cup Whole Milk
  • 1 cup Goat Cheese - crumbled into small pieces (or whichever cheese you’d like to use - feta, grated cheddar, gruyere or even parmesan all work well.)
  • Sea Salt and Black Pepper - to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF/200ºC
  • Heat oil. Sauté the onion first in a medium oven-safe non-stick skillet (or a cast iron) over a medium heat. Season with sea salt and pepper to taste.
  • As the onion softens add the other veggies and sauté until soft. This will take roughly 5 to 10 minutes depending on which vegetables you use.
  • Next add the tomatoes and herbs and stir for around 2 minutes, until the tomatoes are starting to burst.
  • Meanwhile lightly beat 8 eggs with the milk in a medium bowl, season well with sea salt and pepper and add to pan.
  • Tilt the pan and stir gently so the eggs mix evenly with the veggies. Leave the mixture to settle in the pan and start to cook.
  • Add pieces of goat cheese on top
  • Cook the frittata on a medium heat until the bottom is just set. Don’t over cook or it will go rubbery!!
  • Transfer the frittata to the oven to finish. Watch it closely and remove when the frittata is starting to puff up and go golden!
  • Serve with a green salad.
