Baked Onion and Courgette Frittata Recipe

Eggs are one of the most versatile ingredients and can be used to create many meals for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

I've tried frying them, scrambling them, boiling them and poaching them but I hadn't attempted to bake them until now…..

Read my latest recipe to see how I created my baked onion and courgette frittata.

I've found this frittata not only great for a dinner time meal but it is also lovely eaten cold too, a perfect addition to a picnic maybe??
