Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 precooked cob of the corn or ½ small tin of sweet corn
- 1 large garlic clove
- 1 red chilli (optional)
- 4 eggs
- 1 handful cherry tomatoes
Instructions
- Drain the corn or cut the kernels of the cob. Grate the courgette roughly. Mince the garlic, finely chop the deseeded chilli, if used. Mix everything together in a bowl.
- Whisk the eggs lightly in a small bowl, season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Add the mixed vegetables and gently sauté, stirring, for 5 minutes, until soften.
- Pour over the egg and let it spread out evenly. Put the lid on and cook for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile turn on the grill in your oven. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Put these on top of the frittata, put the lid back on.
- When the grill is hot and the surface of the frittata is no longer runny, put the pan under the grill and brown for 2-3 minutes.
- Slide the frittata onto a plate, let it cool slightly and cut it into wedges. Alternatively, let it cool completely and cut it into bite-sized squares.
