I love eggs. I love them by themselves and I love any recipe that uses eggs. As well as being protein packed, they are very quick to make and cheap as well. They are also very versatile and you can add almost anything to them to change the taste – that is why I love fritatta so much. Once you have your basic mix of egg with a little milk, you can add anything you want.
I usually make up a couple of these at the beginning of the week and then slice them up to be eaten as a quick breakfast or for lunch and dinner.
Ingredients – serves 2:
- 4 eggs
- A splash of milk
- 30g/1oz cheese (I used cheddar)
- A handful of chopped spinach
- 4 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
1) Whisk together the eggs and the milk and add a little salt and pepper.
2) Stir in the rest of the ingredients and pour into a greased pie dish.
3) Put in an oven at 200C/400F for 20 minutes.

A great way to get some spinach in my diet
I must confess I don’t like spinach but am sure I could adapt the recipe. It would be perfect for me at the moment as I’m doing this low carbohydrate thing – eating more protein and this would definitely suit me. Perhaps it will be brunch this weekend.
Thanks!

Another great recipe! So, it’s kind of like a baked omelette?
Thanks for the recipe! I am going to make this tomorrow. My kids love snacking on eggs, so this will be a nice way to add some veggies to it too.
Thank you for posting so many breakfast ideas. I was just having toast every morning and it was getting so boring. I have tried loads of new things this month thanks to you

This sounds so good. I don’t normally like spinach, but if it is in something then I can’t usually taste it. This seems like a good way for me to eat more spinach
I would add some sausage or bacon in it. Looks lovely though.
I love eggs, but they can get so boring. I usually make an omelette, but this looks much fancier and more appealing than my usually mushroom omelette. It would be good with goats cheese too.
I recently started eating eggs and have really learned to enjoy them.. this looks great!
I didn’t eat eggs for about 5 years and have only been eating them again this past year. They really are great for meals and snacks and when on a budget, they are ideal.
