Poisonous Warts (Veggie Frittatas)
(Makes 8)
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 60g feta cheese
- 3 chives
- 10 tsp peas
- Butter, for greasing
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Dip a piece of kitchen paper in some butter and grease the holes in the muffin tray.
- Break the eggs into the measuring jug and pick out any pieces of shell.
- Cut up the chives into little pieces using a pair of safety scissors. Add to the egg mixture.
- Use your fingers to crumble up the feta cheese and add it to the mixture.
- Mix everything really well with a fork.
- Pour the mixture into an eight-hole muffin tray, then add a teaspoon of peas to each one.
- Cook for 12-15 minutes.
- Run a butter knife around the edge of the frittata and then carefully lift them out. Enjoy
Top tip: Make sure you grease the muffin tray really thoroughly so the frittatas don’t stick. Plus, you don’t have to use feta cheese – why not use grated cheddar or parmesan instead?
