Ingredients

• 4 organic eggs
• 150 g artichoke hearts (in brine or olive oil)
• 1 onion
• 2 tbsp pine nuts
• 50 g vegetarian hard cheese (Pecorino-style)
• 1 handful of rocket
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp oregano
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 pinch of pepper

Method

You’ll need: frying pan · chopping board · knife · sieve

1. Peel the onion, halve or quarter it and slice it into thin strips. Drain the artichoke hearts well and cut them into halves or quarters.
2. Crack the eggs and whisk them thoroughly with the grated hard cheese, oregano, salt and pepper until evenly combined.
3. Heat the olive oil in a frying pan and cook the onion over a gentle heat until soft and translucent. Add the artichokes and fry them briefly.
4. Pour the egg mixture over the veg, spread everything out evenly and let the frittata set, covered, over a low heat until the top is almost firm.
5. Meanwhile, toast the pine nuts in a small frying pan without extra fat until golden and fragrant. Keep a close eye on them, because they darken quickly.
6. Carefully turn the frittata out onto a plate or serve it straight from the pan. Scatter over the rocket and toasted pine nuts and serve warm.

Good to know

A frittata like this takes little effort and still feels like something special. Savoury, Mediterranean and just right when you want something simple and really good.

Swaps

Hard cheese → goat's cheese (also provides protein and calcium). Pine nuts → walnuts (more omega-3 fatty acids). Rocket → baby spinach (milder flavour, similar nutrients). Onion → leek (slightly milder and also contains fibre).

Allergens

Contains egg and milk, plus pine nuts, which are often grouped with tree nuts for allergies. Usually suitable for children if the pine nuts are finely chopped, and no problem during pregnancy with fresh, thoroughly cooked eggs.
