A frittata is a variation on an omelette. Any combination of meat, vegetables and cheese are held together with beaten eggs. Some recipes will cook these on the stove, some will finish them off in the oven and others (like this recipe) are baked in the oven.
You can make one big frittatas and cut it into slices or mini frittatas which are great for meals on the go. They’re easy to make and look impressive too!
I’ve gone with a vegetarian version for this recipe, and I’m keeping it simple with just 2 fillings – zucchini and halloumi. However, you can toss in any softer vegetables that you have in your kitchen – corn, broccoli, spinach, kale – even cherry tomatoes. You can also experiment with different cheeses – try crumbling feta or goats cheese – or add some grated tasty, cheddar or mozarella cheese.
