Oven Baked Frittata

A well-made frittata is one of the world's most perfect foods. It's cheap, quick-cooking, and an efficient vehicle for leftovers - not to mention equally delicious at breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner.

Ingredients:

Butter, for greasing baking dish

6 eggs
100 ml whole milk or light cream
2 garlic cloves, crushed or finely chopped
150 g bacon, roughly chopped (or any meat you like - sausage/leftover chicken, proscuitto or even cooked mince...)
8 cherry tomatoes, chopped quarterly
2 tbsp parmesan cheese, finely grated

½cup mozzarella, grated (optional)

1-2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped

Salt and pepper

Method:

Preheat the oven to 220 degrees C.

Lightly butter an 8 by 8-inch baking dish (or any medium-deep baking dish available in your kitchen).

In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt and pepper, until smooth about 20 seconds. Add the crushed garlic, parmesan cheese, and parsley. Stir in the chopped bacon and tomatoes.

Pour the batter into the prepared dish. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella on top. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Serve hot with any side you feel like; could be salad, potato crisps or even toasted bread.

Enjoy xx

Cooking tip: You can add any type of vegetable you like, provided that you chop it to fine bits. Red bell peppers are my best choice.
