Pumpkin and Silverbeet (Swiss chard) Frittatas

Italian Frittatas are similar to a Spanish Tortilla and in New Zealand often called a crustless quiche. Usually they are made in a large fry pan, cooked on the stove top then browned under a grill and cut into wedges to serve.

They are a great lunch proving wonderful protein and tasty served with a salad. The beauty of making Frittatas in muffin tins is they are pre portioned and can be stored in the fridge or frozen for another day.

This recipe makes 12 muffin sized frittatas

    Truly delicious, thank you! They were easy to put together, with just a few ingredients, instructions very clear, and quick to bake at 20 minutes. I thought they were even tastier cold. I’ll be recommending this recipe to my friends. They’re so portable and will be great to pop into a lunchbox during the week. Keen to make another batch now! Next time I’ll add tastier cheese or parmesan for a bit more flavour, and wonder about adding herbs. Were delicious served with
    tomato wedges and chutney on the side.
    Thanks hugely for sharing this recipe! It’ll be a very handy go-to from now on.
