Spinach Frittata (Flat Omelette) Veg HT MC Italian 15mins Serves 4 Hot Vegetarian Vegetables herbs Main Course Gluten Wheat free Italy Europe
Ingredients: 1 Onion, finely chopped 100g/4oz Spinach, washed and finely shredded 5 tbsp Olive Oil 8 Eggs 100g/4oz Cottage Cheese 4 tbsp Freshly grated Parmesan Cheese Nutmeg 1 tbsp Freshly chopped Parsley 1 tbsp Freshly chopped Chives Salt and Pepper 50g/2oz Butter A little extra Butter to glaze
Instructions
1. Fry the finely chopped onion in 3 tbsp of the olive oil, until soft. Add the spinach and sweat for a further 2-3 minutes until soft.
2. Break the eggs into a bowl and stir them vigorously with a fork or wire whisk to mix the yolks and whites. Mix in the fried onions and spinach, cottage cheese, parmesan, nutmeg, herbs and salt and black pepper to taste.
3. Melt half of the butter and the remaining olive oil in a large frying pan. Pour in the egg mixture and cook the frittata, lifting the edges to permit the liquid egg to run underneath and shaking the pan to prevent sticking. Turn the omelet on to a plate, melt the remaining butter in the pan and slide the frittata back into the pan. Cook for 20-30 seconds - the centre should remain soft and creamy.
4. Slide the frittata (omelette ) on to a heated serving plate. Glaze the surface with a little butter and serve immediately, cut into wedges.
NB It may be easier to use 2 frying pans
