Ingredients

• 4 medium eggs

• 180g cottage cheese

• 30g Padano (or Parmesan), finely grated

• 30g Red Leicester cheese, grated

• 40g red onion

• 150g courgette

• 8 vine-ripened cherry tomatoes

• Salt and pepper, to taste

  
  

Optional:

Add extra seasoning such as chilli flakes, herbs, or spices. The vegetables are very flexible- use whatever you have.

Method

1. Finely dice the red onion, cube the courgette, and quarter the cherry tomatoes.

   
   

2. Heat a small frying pan and lightly coat with low-calorie cooking spray (note: oil calories not included- track separately if needed). Keep heat LOW.

   
   

3. Sauté the vegetables for 5–10 minutes until softened. If they start to burn, add a splash of water instead of extra oil.

   
   

4. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, and Padano. Blend until smooth and lump-free. And season.

   
   

5. Once the vegetables are softened, pour the egg mixture into the pan. Cook on the hob for about 5 minutes, until the base starts to set.

   
   

6. Sprinkle over the Red Leicester cheese, then transfer to the grill for around 10 minutes, or until the top is golden and the frittata is fully cooked through.

7. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
