Potato, Feta and Spinach Frittata

When preparing for a family lunch at Dad’s place at Easter, I was completely baffled about what to make for the occasion. ‘Cooker’s block’ was setting in, but the fact we had some vegetarians to feed gave me my the lightbulb moment. Frittata!!

Brenda Janschek - Potato Frittata Feature

With eggs as the hero of the dish providing the body with wonderful proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals, fritatta takes no time to whip up, is super nutritious, and oh-so-tasty. The carnivores were more than happy, and the the leftovers also make a great lunchbox addition. An added bonus is that frittata requires very few dishes to wash up (happily, for my husband!).

It’s versatility means that it is equally appropriate when served either hot or cold, and is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. What can’t the frittata do? Well, it can’t be vegan, I guess!

Experiment with flavours you love and you can’t go wrong. Here’s the one we all loved.

Many of the ingredients in this recipe can be sourced from my one-stop-favourite, organic wholefoods online store, The Wholefood Collective. They go to great lengths to ensure everything they source is amazing quality, they stock all my favorite products and I don’t even have to leave the house! Oh and the cherry on the cake is they donate profits to improve food security for vulnerable Aussies.

Here are some of the ingredients you’ll need:

Basil or parsley
Salt and pepper
