A family favourite, a frittata is perfect for brunch, lunch and dinner.
Serves 2
Prep & cooking time: 20 minutes
Difficulty: easy
Ingredients
4 free-range eggs
A dash of cream
A knob of butter
Vegetable oil for cooking
2 or 3 leftover boiled potatoes from last night’s supper
4 leaves of cavolo nero, stalks stipped out and leaves blanched
½ burrata – snack on the other half with olive oil and salt
20g freshly grated Parmesan
Salt and pepper
Method
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (normal) | 200°C (fan) | gas mark 7
- Dice the potato and fry in an oven-proof pan over medium heat with a knob of butter and a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Tear the cavolo nero roughly and add it to the pan. Beat your eggs with the cream and add to the pan.
- Stir the ingredients briefly and then allow the egg to begin to colour on the bottom: this will take 5 minutes. Tear the burrata and place the chunks evenly through the frittata.
- Place the lot in the oven and allow it to cook for 5 minutes, remove from the oven and scatter over the Parmesan and allow it to cook for a further 8 minutes until the egg is cooked , and the top has crisped slightly.
- Slice and serve.

A romantic comedy starring Rachel McAdams and Harrison Ford as colleagues on a Breakfast TV show with a surprisingly important plot point of a frittata. This recipe is a quick win, with a pro tip from Harrison himself: "The key to a good frittata is a very hot pan, because that, my friends, is what makes it… fluffy"
