Broccoli, bean and bacon frittata

This smokey frittata makes a great lunch or brunch dish, and it's perfect for a hot summer's day - why not try it with a crisp rocket salad


Ingredients

  • 250g Broccoli cut into small florets, stalks thinly sliced
  • 8 Medium eggs
  • 12 ½g Fresh chives (1/2 x 25g pack) snipped
  • 1tbsp Olive oil
  • 120g Bacon chopped into small pieces
  • 3 cloves of garlic crushed
  • 400g can of cannellini beans drained
  • 1 ½tsp Cumin seeds

Method

  • Step 1

    Heat the oil in a 25cm frying pan and fry the bacon for 3-4 minutes until beginning to brown. Add the garlic and fry for a further 1 minute. Add the beans, cooked broccoli and cumin seeds. Mix well and spread in an even layer.

  • Step 2

    Pour the beaten egg into the pan and reduce the heat to its lowest setting. Cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly set. Pop the pan under the grill for a further 2 minutes to set the surface. Cut into wedges and serve if liked with a watercress and rocket salad or warmed seeded bread.

Cook’s tip Add finely chopped chilli with the garlic for some heat. For a meat-free version omit the bacon and scatter with Brie or goat’s cheese before grilling.
