Chili Thai Frittata with Lime & Fresh Herbs

Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 10 mins

Our spicy and fresh take on the classic frittata is a people pleaser for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 180ºC.

  2. Bring a medium-sized saucepan of salted water to the boil and blanch the broccolini and carrot
    slices for one to two minutes. Transfer them to a sieve to steam dry and blanch the Pak choi
    extremely quickly (30 seconds) – ideally the leaves will remain firm.

  3. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and fish sauce until combined. Mix in the cooked grains
    (grains must be cold, so as not to scramble the egg mixture).

  4. In a medium-sized frypan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shallot and chili, and sauté until softened, about three to five minutes.

  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour over the egg-grain mixture. Layer the broccolini and carrot on top and sprinkle with remaining chili.

  6. You can continue to cook the omelette, placing a lid over your frypan, or transfer the pan in the
    oven. Cook either way, for 15-20 minutes, or until it has completely set and the top is brown.

  7. Meanwhile, combine the herbs, lime juice and spring onions in a small bowl.

  8. Once the frittata is cooked, loosen the sides with a spatula and slide onto a serving platter—or
    serve straight from the frypan. Garnish with herbs and spring onions and serve immediately with extra lime wedges on the side.

  • We love leftovers
    Frittatas are the ultimate leftover recipe – perfect for transforming leftover veg, grains or protein into a golden and crispy breakfast, lunch or dinner dish. This recipe calls for cooked grains – we recommend using leftover rice and herbs.
