Equipment
- Large frying pan suitable for oven use
Ingredients
- 1 bunch Wild garlic leaves -rinsed and patted dry with a clean towel.
- 4 Eggs
- 1 small chunk Goats cheese
- ½ Red pepper finely sliced.
- ¼ tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Butter olive oil, or coconut oil
- Black pepper to season
Instructions
- Preheat the grill to 200°C / 390°F
- Beat the eggs vigorously in a large mixing bowl. Roughly chop the wild garlic leaves and add them to the egg mixture with salt and sliced pepper, mixing gently to ensure the ingredients are coated in the egg mixture.
- Melt the butter or oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add the frittata mixture. Swirl the mixture around to coat the pan, and use a fork, if necessary, to spread the frittata ingredients in an even layer. Crumble chunks of goat’s cheese on top of the frittata.
- Cook until the frittata edges begin to firm up and rise slightly from the edges of the pan. It usually takes about 5-10 minutes, and you may need to adjust the heat. The centre of the frittata may have a slight wobble, that’s ok!
- Place the pan under the preheated grill and cook until the egg mixture has become firm and turned golden brown, about 8-12 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven ( REMEMBER THE HANDLE IS HOT!) and use a flat-bottomed spatula to release the frittata from the bottom of the pan. Slide it onto a large plate or chopping board. Season with a generous pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper, and slice like a pizza or serve in halves.
Notes
Top with some pickled red onion, pickled wild garlic buds, or a little wild garlic pesto and serve with a crisp salad. Frittatas are also delicious eaten at room temperature and even chilled, so they make great picnic food!
Wild garlic has a mild flavor when cooked, making it suitable for a wide range of ingredients. Some of our favorite things to add include wild mushrooms, quartered new potatoes, roasted pumpkin or sweet potato, and grated cheese.
Store refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Reheat in a frying pan with a little butter or oil over medium heat or under the grill.
