Time:< 30 mins

Frittatas are perfect hamper food. They transport easily and are delicious served cold. You can make a large frittata or smaller ones in blini pans or muffin tins.

Ingredients

2 cups frozen baby peas
6 eggs
1 cup thickened cream
cup vegetable oil
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 spring onions, white part only, chopped
½ cup loosely chopped mint
½ cup loosely packed chopped basil
½ cup plain flour
salt and pepper
4 slices prosciutto, cut into thin strips

Method

Preheat oven to 190C. In a large bowl, mix peas, eggs, cream, oil, cheese, onion, mint and basil. Slowly add flour. Season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture into greased pans or tins. Scatter prosciutto over the top. Place in oven and cook for 20 minutes, or until firm and set (a large frittata will take longer). Remove from oven and cool.
