New Make/Bake 35 - Full English frittata


Apologies for a long delay of posts. I have been new make/baking but haven't had the time to blog - it's been a busy few weeks! Hopefully I'll catch up!

As part of a health kick I've been trying to eat tasty but lower calorie things - it's not going terribly well but now the sun appears to be here, I'm hoping salads and BBQ will be more common - hooray!

Here is one of the new recipes I tried - adapted from by favourite site

Full English frittata

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 2 low-fat sausages , sliced
  • 4 rashers smoked bacon medallions, chopped
  • 150g pack button mushrooms , halved, or larger ones quartered
  • 8 egg whites - I'm not a fan of whites so I used whole 6 eggs instead
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 140g cherry tomatoes , halved
  • small bunch chives , snipped 

Method

  1. Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a roasting tin about the size of A4 paper with enough baking parchment to cover the base and sides. Fry the sausages and bacon in a non-stick pan until golden, stirring them often to stop them sticking. Scoop into the tin.
  2. Place the pan back on the heat and fry the mushrooms for about 5 mins until golden, then add these to the tray, too. Whisk the egg with the milk and lots of seasoning. Pour into the tin, then dot the tomatoes on top.
  3. Bake in the oven for 20-25 mins, until set. Scatter the frittata with the chives and serve with salad (or the recipe suggested smoky beans which is a tin of baked beans and 1.5 tsp smoked paprika)
