Ingredients

  • 1 leek trimmed and finely sliced
  • 1 bunch silverbeet stems removed and shredded
  • 200 g baby spinach leaves
  • 1 zucchini grated
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 300 ml thickened cream
  • 1 cup tasty cheese grated
  • 200 g feta cheese

For the tomato salad

  • 1 punnet mixed colour cherry tomatoes halved
  • ¼ red onion finely sliced
  • small bunch fresh basil leaves picked
  • 1 tbs balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ cup pine nuts toasted

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the leek and cook, for 2-3 minutes or until you see it starting to soften. Add silverbeet, spinach, zucchini and peas to the pan and cook for further 2 minutes until the silverbeet and spinach start to wilt. Allow to cool slightly. 
  • Preheat oven to 200°C. Grease and line a 20cm x 30cm slice pan with baking paper.
  • In a bowl or medium size jug, whisk eggs and cream then add the cheese and season well.
  • Transfer the vegetables to the prepared dish and pour cream mixture over the top. Crumble over the feta. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden and cooked all the way through.

For the tomato salad

  • Halve the cherry tomatoes and place in a bowl along with the onion and basil leaves.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar and olive oil and season to perfection. Gently toss the salad until combined. 
  • Allow the frittata to cool slightly before spooning the tomato salad over the top and scattering over the pine nuts.
