BABY FRITTATAS

Steps:

• On the day, reheat the oven to 180C/Gas 4/fan oven 160C. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Tip in the pancetta and fry for 4 minutes until crisp. Drain and cool on kitchen paper.
• Whisk the eggs with the cream and plenty of salt and pepper. Add the herbs, parmesan and cooled pancetta; mix again.
• Butter a 12-hole muffin tin. Ladle in the mixture to two-thirds fill each hole (you'll have leftovers for another batch). Bake for 20-25 minutes until firm. Transfer to a rack. Cool while cooking the remaining frittatas. Make up to 4 hours ahead.
• To serve, heat through, loosely wrapped in foil, in a preheated oven at 180C/Gas 4/fan oven 160C, for 10-15 minutes. Serve hot, warm or cold.

EASY CHEESY FRITTATA

Steps:

• Ask a grown-up helper to switch the oven on to 180C/ 160C fan/gas 4. Snip or cut up the spring onions and put them in a bowl. Add the peas to the bowl.
• Grate the courgette using your rotary grater, one half at a time, then add it to the bowl.
• Cut the ham into pieces with your scissors, if you do this over the bowl it will fall straight in.
• Break the feta into the bowl by crumbling it with your hands.
• Crack the eggs into a bowl and, if any bits of shell fall in, scoop them out with a spoon. Whisk the eggs until the yolks are mixed into the white.
• Pour the eggs into the other bowl and stir. Brush a round ovenproof dish, about 16cm across, with oil. Tip everything into the dish. Ask a helper to put the dish in the oven for 30 minutes or until the egg is set. Serve with salad and crusty bread.

BOMBAY POTATO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 6 mins, or until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry. Meanwhile, put the spinach in a heatproof bowl with 1 tbsp water. Cover and microwave for 3 mins on high, or until wilted.
• Heat the rapeseed oil in a medium non-stick frying pan. Add the onion and cook over a medium heat for 10 mins until golden and sticky. Stir in the garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, mustard seeds and turmeric, and cook for 1 min more. Add the tomatoes and wilted spinach and cook for another 3 mins, then add the potatoes.
• Heat the grill to medium. Lightly beat the eggs with the chilli and most of the fresh coriander and pour over the potato mixture. Grill for 4-5 mins, or until golden and just set, with a very slight wobble in the middle.
• Leave to cool, then slice into wedges. Mix the mango chutney, yogurt and remaining fresh coriander together. Serve with the frittata wedges.
