Then, the other day, I threw some eggs and things together in a pan - and it was a huge hit!
It even contains vegetables. It's healthy, super fast to cook, and very easy - this is really important for those "I can't think" days when all you really want to do is bung some turkey dinosaurs in the oven and go and lie down.
I made frittata. Wasn't sure that was the right name for it at the time but yup, it is.
Ingredients
Eggs (I used three eggs between two kids)
Vegetables (I used courgette the first time, then peppers and mushrooms)
Ham (optional, but Master Chief loves it)
Soft cheese (I used the type with onions & garlic)
Oil
What to do
Chop up the vegetables, I cut them really small as I wanted them to mix in nicely, then fry them in a bit of oil.
Add a nice dollop of soft cheese to the pan and stir it up so it's all nicely mixed.
Crack the eggs into a bowl and stir well so the yolks and whites are all combined and then add the ham and the fried vegetables.
Pour it all back into the pan and cook until it's firm, loosening the edges and underneath so it doesn't stick. Flip it over (like a pancake if you're daring, but make sure it's definitely firm - flying hot liquid egg is no fun!) and cook for a few more minutes.
Dish it up!
Cue happy faces and clean plates - hopefully.
You could use up leftovers too, Sunday roast leavings, dinner leftovers from the night before, whatever you like. Cut it all up really small and mix it up.
