MINI BUTTERNUT SQUASH FRITTATAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to180C/160Cfan/gas 4. Lightly oil 12 holes of a muffin tin.
• Pull apart any squash spirals that are still stuck together and cut any long spirals of squash in half. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat then add the spiralized squash and red onion. Cook, stirring occasionally for 3 mins until the vegetables have softened slightly. Stir in the red chilli, fry for a further min then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
• Beat the eggs in a large jug or bowl and season with salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Stir in the butternut squash mixture along with the thyme leaves and goat's cheese.
• Divide the mixture between each muffin tin, making sure each hole gets an equal amount of filling, then bake in the oven for 15-18 mins or until just set. Gently lift the fritattas out of the tin with a palette or cutlery knife.

ROASTED PUMPKIN, MARJORAM, AND BLUE CHEESE FRITTATA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Place the pumpkin in a bowl and add 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper. Toss to combine and transfer to a lightly greased oven tray lined with non-stick baking paper. Roast for 12-15 minutes or until golden.
• Meanwhile, place the eggs, half-and-half, Parmesan, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
• Heat a 22cm (8-inch) ovenproof non-stick frying pan over low heat. Add the remaining oil and the butter and swirl to cover base and edges of the pan. Add the egg mixture and cook for 5 minutes or until the edges begin to set. Top with the pumpkin, marjoram, cheddar and blue cheese and cook for a further 15 minutes. Transfer to the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the frittata is just set. Sprinkle with Parmesan and slice to serve.

PAN-ROASTED BUTTERNUT SQUASH AND TALEGGIO FRITTATA

Steps:

• Heat the broiler.
• Whisk the cream, eggs and some salt and pepper in a large bowl.
• Heat the butter and oil in a 10-inch nonstick ovenproof saute pan over high heat. Add the onions, squash and sage and saute until lightly browned and tender, about 8 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and wait 2 minutes to allow the pan to come down to temperature. Pour the egg mixture over the squash and onions and cook until the eggs start to set, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with the cheese and continue to cook until the frittata is almost set but the top is still runny, about 4 minutes.
• Place the frittata under the broiler and broil until the top is golden brown, about 3 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittata from the pan and invert it onto a plate. Cut into wedges and serve.
