Cavolo Nero & Tomato Frittata
Packed with protein, filling and nutritious, and its naturally low carb. And the best thing about frittatas is how easy they are to whip up -whether you serve at breakfast, a tasty make-ahead lunch, or an easy weeknight light dinner option, frittatas are super versatile and simple to make!
Equipment
- Pre-heat the oven to 375°F, gas mark 5, 200°C (180°C fan-assisted). Line a 9 x9 square baking tin with parchment paper (you can also use a round 9x9 cake tin lined with parchment paper).
- Sauté the sliced Cavolo Nero in 1 tbsp. olive oil over a medium heat for 5 minutes, lightly season with sea salt and cracked black pepper then take off the heat to cool.
- Beat the eggs, and season with sea salt and white pepper, add the cheddar cheese together with half of the cooked Cavolo Nero. Mix well together, then pour into the pre lined tin. Cover the frittata with parmesan, gruyere or comte cheese over the top, then scatter over the remaining Cavolo Nero. Place the sliced baby tomatoes around the tin with the seeds exposed. Sprinkle the tops of the tomatoes with a touch of sea salt and cracked black pepper.
- Place in the pre heated oven on a middle shelf for 28-30 minutes, make sure the frittata is firm. Remove from the oven and leave to cool slightly before serving.
- Enjoy!

Notes
LISA’S TIP – This is the perfect way to have a high protein low carb meal. If I have leftovers, it’s great the next day, either warm or cold. I find frittatas incredibly filling. I like to have two different kinds of cheese, and if you are unable to get parmesan, gruyere or comte you can just scatter another 50g of grated cheddar cheese on the top instead.
