Mixed Greens Frittata

(not my picture)

I love greens. They're cheap, plentiful, and super good for you, yet everybody knows we don't eat enough. Here's a delicious way to make a meal of 'em.

INGREDIENTS

• Eggs - about 2 per portion/person
• Cheese - parmesan, cheddar, combinations, whatever you like
• All kinds of chopped greens: Spinach, Rocket, Chard, Mustard greens etc
• Fresh herbs. I like lots of parsley, but whatever you fancy
• EV Olive oil
• Lemon juice
• Salt & pepper

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 180C and bring a large pan half full of salted water to a rolling boil.
2. Start with the tougher greens - adding each type to the pan for their varying lengths of time - until just cooked. Keep up the boil as each goes in, in order to retain the colour.
3. The salad greens can go in for a moment at the end, just to soften them.
4. Drain and squeeze as dry as poss then add the herbs and season with salt, pepper, olive oil, and lemon juice. Mix well.
5. Beat the eggs in a large mixing bowl and season, then tip-in the greens and combine.
6. Pour the lot into a baking dish and put into the oven for 40min, then check. It will probably need another 10 or 20 mins depending on the size of eggs, amount and type of cheese...

If you want to defeat the object of this recipe, nobody's going to stop you chucking a little bacon into the mix.

Alternatively, you can bake in a muffin tray for individual portions. If you do it this way, share out the greens, cheese, and beaten eggs separately to each portion instead mixing it together in a bowl. Oven time will be less - about 25 mins.
