Once the frittata is made it’s simple to finish and serve quickly during busy times and can be paired with any number of accompaniments. Here I have a house made harissa and broccolini, but try the below recipe for a cheap and vivid kale pesto.

The frittata is great option to create food for a cabinet that can be served cold, reheated and as a fast takeaway option.
