Roasted Tomato & Feta Frittata - My Fussy Eater | Easy Family Recipes (1)

Ever find yourself staring blankly into an almost empty fridge with zero idea of what to make for lunch or dinner?

Yep that’s me…. more often than I care to admit! After Christmas I was determined to use up as much food in our fridge and freezer as possible as it really does upset me to see good quality produce go in the bin.

My usual fall-back meals were out of the question as I had banned myself from going to the supermarket but this forced me to think a bit more creatively about what I could rustle up from a few limp bits of vegetables and other leftovers. Hello delicious frittata!

Frittata Ingredients

Eggs are one thing I always seem to have in abundance in my house so it really was a no brainer to whisk them up with some leftover vegetables and cheese to createa delicious and filling Roasted Tomato & Feta Frittata.

I also threw in some cooked chorizo to this version. Cooked chicken, turkey or ham would work really well also if you don’t want to keep it purely veggie.

Ingredient Substitutions

Feta cheese can be a tricky one for kids as it can be quite sharp. I only used 50g in my recipe so that it wasn’t too over-powering but you could easily swap it for more cheddar or another type of cheese that your kids prefer.

Similarly, the veggies are all changeable too, depending on preference or (like me!) what you happen to have in your fridge.

A traditional Spanish frittata usually contains some cooked potato chunks. I didn’t have any but these would work really well also if you wanted to add them in.

I really would recommend sticking with the roasted cherry tomatoes though as they add a wonderful flavour to the dish.

Afrittata is a fantastic and versatiledish as it can pretty much be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

We ate this as a lunch with some extra salad but you could also make a more substantial meal by serving it with crusty bread or potato salad. Yum!

Description

A delicious and healthy frittata or crustless quiche, made with roasted tomatoes, feta cheese and spinach

Ingredients

  • ½ tbsp olive oil
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 5 medium eggs
  • 25g cheddar cheese
  • 50g feta cheese
  • 50g fresh spinach
  • ½ red pepper, chopped
  • 1 spring onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180c / 350f.
  2. Add the oil and chopped cherry tomatoes to an oven-proof pie or flan dish and roast in the oven for 10 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, whisk the eggs in a large jug with a fork. Add the cheddar, feta, spinach, red pepper, spring onion and oregano and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  4. If you want to add any extra ingredients now is the time to do so. I added a little cooked chorizo, but cooked chicken, turkey or ham would work really well too.
  5. Remove the dish from the oven. The tomatoes should be lightly roasted but not completely mushy. Pour the egg mixture on top of the tomatoes and give everything a good stir.
  6. Return the dish to the oven for 15-20 minutes. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your fritatta. Simply stick a sharp knife into the middle to test if it has cooked through.
  7. If you attempt to cut the frittata straight from the oven it may fall apart, so allow it to cool for 10 minutes before cutting into portions and serving. I serve mine with a little extra feta cheese, cherry tomatoes and rocket.
  8. The frittata will keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 2 days.

FAQs

How long does a frittata last in the refrigerator? ›

When you refrigerate cooked eggs, they'll stay good to eat for three to four days, so you can easily make a frittata (or two) during Sunday meal prep, slice and pack it up, and enjoy it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner almost all week long. In fact, frittatas are so foolproof, you don't even need a recipe to make one.

How long to let frittata cool? ›

Carefully transfer the skillet to the center rack of the oven, and bake for 22–26 minutes, until the frittata is puffy and the center no longer wobbles/looks wet. Transfer the skillet to a wire rack, and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Frittata will continue to set as it cools.

Can I eat week old frittata? ›

Here's a good rule of thumb: leftovers from a cooked meal, like meatloaf or frittata, can be kept in your fridge for up to 4 days. The same goes for freshly-prepped ingredients. If you plan to use either at a later date, freeze in freezer-safe containers or bags and thaw when you are ready to use.

How to tell when frittata is done? ›

The eggs should be cooked through, not runny and a knife should come out clean when inserted into the centre. You can also give the skillet a gentle shake to determine if it is done; a runny frittata will jiggle when you shake the skillet.

How do you keep frittata fluffy? ›

Tips for Fluffy Eggs

Don't overcook! Overcooking eggs makes them rubbery. When you remove the Frittata from the oven, it will continue to cook, especially if you are using cast iron, which retains heat well. You do want it to be set and not liquidy, but keep this in mind so you keep the texture perfect.

When making a frittata, which ingredient should be pre-cooked prior to adding it to the egg mixture? ›

Tough vegetables like potatoes, squash and onions need to be pre-cooked since they will not have time enough to soften before the eggs are done. Raw meats such as bacon and sausage also need more time and heat to cook through safely, so get them prepped before your other ingredients.

What kind of pan is best for frittata? ›

Use a cast-iron skillet.

The best choice for making frittatas, cast iron skillets can safely go from stovetop to oven, and they conduct heat well and evenly. Seasoning a cast-iron pan gives it a non-stick quality, so a well-seasoned skillet will result in the easiest slicing & serving.

How long is leftover frittata good for? ›
