This is a twist on one of my favourite omelette recipes. A frittata is so simple to put together and ideal to whip up for a lunch for unexpected guests, to have on hand for lunch boxes or even a great option for a no-fuss dinner, made with what you have at hand in the fridge.

Top Tips:

  • I use my electric Kenwood Spiralizer for this recipe.
  • You can choose to grate courgettes rather than spiralise. For fast, easy grating, I use the grating blade that comes with a food processor.
