Liza’s 'Bits and Bobs Frittata’

Gear

Ingredients

Serves = 4

8-10 eggs

3-4 cups of vegetables

1 cup grated cheese

Pepper to taste

It’s this easy


  • Preheat a fan forced oven to 180oC
  • Line a baking dish with baking paper
  • Add your vegetables to the tray – you can do layers, or just put it all in together!
  • Crack the eggs into a jug or bowl and scramble vigorously with a fork or whisk
  • Add cheese to the eggs and mix through
  • Pour the egg mix over the vegetables in the baking dish. Make sure all the vegetables are covered so that they don’t burn. If adding cherry tomatoes, you can position them on top.
  • Top with pepper and any nuts, seeds or dukkha if using them
  • Bake in the oven for approximately 40 minutes, then turn the oven off, leaving the frittata in for an extra 10 minutes to ensure the egg has fully set.
  • Serve with a side of rocket or baby spinach, and relish or chutney if you have any handy.

Tweaks

  • This is a great recipe to use up any limp asparagus or wilting veggies from the crisper. My favourite vegetables to use are pre-roasted pumpkin, pre-roasted sweet potato, frozen corn, frozen peas, cherry tomatoes and baby spinach.
  • For extra flavour and crunch try adding nuts, seeds or dukkha.

What is healthy eating?

Eating healthy is making sure you enjoy a wide variety of foods from each of the five major food groups daily, in the amounts recommended. The five major food groups as recommended by the Australian Guide to Healthy Eating are:

  1. vegetables and legumes/bean
  2. fruit
  3. lean meats and poultry, fish, eggs, tofu, nuts and seeds, legumes/beans
  4. grain (cereal) foods, mostly wholegrain and/or high cereal fibre varieties
  5. milk, yoghurt, cheese and/or alternatives, mostly reduced fat.

Foods are grouped together because they provide similar amounts of key nutrients and eating a variety of foods from the list above helps to promote good health and reduce the risk of disease.

By completing the Healthy Eating Quiz you’ll receive instant personalised feedback and a report on your diet quality to highlight any areas where you can improve your overall eating habits.

Is my diet healthy?

Dietary habits are different between people. Some people choose to follow a particular diet (i.e., Keto diet or vegan diet) while some have to make changes due to certain food restrictions or health conditions. If you want to know if what you usually eat is healthy, then do the Healthy Eating Quiz today to give you the answers in less than 10 minutes.

Why is healthy eating important?

Your HEQ score and personalised feedback report is based on the frequency and variety of healthy core foods you usually eat. This is important because no single food contains all the nutrients we need to stay healthy. Some foods are higher in nutrients than others and people who have a lot of variety in the foods they eat are more likely to be healthy and to stay healthy. In other words, if you can eat a large variety of vegetables as opposed to only 2-3 types of vegetables, the benefits are much greater. This type of diet also helps you to feel better, think better and perform better during your usual daily activities.
