Fried Breakfast Frittata

Who doesn’t like a fry-up? We like to get as much stuff into a frittata as humanly possible. This one is just packed with sausage, bacon, baked beans and mushrooms. Baking at the end in the oven just finished it off. It is a super-charged breakfast. It can even be kept in the fridge as well. 

Serves: 4 Preparation time: 10 minutes; Cooking time: 35 minutes.

Ingredients: 

• low-calorie cooking spray or olive oil
• 2 reduced fat sausages, sliced or chopped
• 3 smoked bacon medallions or Canadian bacon, sliced
• 5 mushrooms, sliced
• 10 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half
• 10 medium eggs
• 10g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tin of baked beans – about 100g
• 2 spring onions, trimmed and sliced
• pinch of seal salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. Preheat the oven to 180C (fan 160C/gas mark 4)
2. Spray an ovenproof frying pan with low-calorie cooking spray or add olive oil and cover lightly.
3. Place over a medium heat.
4. Add the sausage and bacon and cook for 4 minutes to brown. Place on a plate and leave to one side.
5. Add the tomatoes and mushrooms to the pan and cook for 2 minutes until they soften and colour. Also put on the same plate as the sausages and bacon to one side.
6. Whisk the eggs, about 100ml of water and grated Parmesan in a mixing bowl until well mixed and combined. Season with pepper and salt.
7. Spray the pan with some more low-calorie cooking spray or olive oil. Pour in about three-qaurters of the beaten egg. Cook for 4 minutes and stir the egg mixture gently. Makes ripples in the egg mixture as it hardens.
8. as the egg is beginning to fry up, scatter in the bacon and sausages, mushrooms and tomatoes. Allow to mix into the egg.
9. Sprinkle sliced spring onions and add spoonfuls of beans. Pour over the remaining egg mix and cook for 5 minutes.
10. Allow the frittata to form underneath. Pop the pan into the oven for 20 minutes until the the top is golden-brown and egg thoroughly cooked through.
11. Slice into quarters and serve with salad and other condiments like mustard and tomato ketchup.
