Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 10 eggs
  • 3/4 cup cream or full-fat milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, tasty, or choice)
  • 100 g / 3 oz feta, crumbled (optional)

Vegetables & Seasoning

  • 100 g / 3 oz mushroom, sliced (optional)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1.5 tsp mixed dried herbs (or choice)
  • 350 g / 12 oz pumpkin (butternut or sweet potato), cut into 1.7 cm (0.7″) cubes
  • 2 zucchinis, sliced into 1.25 cm (0.5″) thick rounds
  • 1 large red capsicum (bell pepper), sliced


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) to prepare for roasting the vegetables and baking the frittata.
  2. Roast the Vegetables: In a large bowl, toss the cubed pumpkin, sliced zucchinis, red capsicum, and mushrooms with olive oil, minced garlic, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp pepper, and 1.5 tsp mixed dried herbs. Spread the vegetables evenly on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 40-50 minutes until tender and fragrant, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: While the vegetables are roasting, beat 10 eggs with 3/4 cup of cream or full-fat milk. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Stir in the shredded cheese and, if using, crumbled feta for extra flavor and creaminess.
  4. Combine Ingredients: Once the roasted vegetables are done and slightly cooled, fold them gently into the egg and cheese mixture, making sure all the roasted veggies are evenly distributed.
  5. Bake the Frittata: Pour the vegetable and egg mixture into a greased baking dish or ovenproof skillet. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the frittata is set, the edges are slightly golden, and a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the frittata to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This lets it firm up and makes serving easier. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
