As well as being a great source of protein, eggs are an easy, go-to food that can be conjured into all kinds of magnificent dishes with the help of ingredients you probably already have in your fridge. This sophisticated Italian egg dish is a good example. Chuck some ham, cheese and parsley into the egg mix and you’ve got a delicious breakfast, brunch or lunch dish in 15 minutes.
Ingredients
1 jar of Sacla Classic Basil Pesto
Non-stick vegetable oil cooking spray
8 large eggs
½ cup of whole milk
1 cup whole milk
½tsp ground black pepper
¼tsp salt
4 ounces thinly sliced ham, chopped
⅓ cup freshly-grated Parmesan
2tbsp chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Method
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Spray two mini muffin tins (each with 24 cups) with non-stick spray.
Whisk the eggs, milk, pepper and salt in a large bowl to blend well. Stir in the jar of pesto, ham, cheese, and parsley.
Fill prepared muffin cups almost to the top with the egg mixture. Bake until the egg mixture puffs and is just set in the centre (for about ten minutes).
Using a rubber spatula, loosen the frittatas from the muffin cups and slide the frittatas onto a platter. Serve immediately.
