While this veggie frittata is great for al fresco meals in the park, it’s also perfect for packing in lunch boxes during summer days out.

Ingredients

Potato(es)

200 g, cut into 2cm pieces

Asparagus

1 bunch(es), spears, trimmed

Fresh basil

¼ cup(s), leaves, torn

Tomato(es)

cup(s), fresh, crumbled (80g)

Grated parmesan cheese

1½ tbs

Oil spray

1 x 3 second spray(s)

Instructions

  2. Cook potato in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water for 10 minutes or until just tender, adding asparagus to pan for the final 2 minutes of cooking time. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  3. Scatter potatoes, asparagus, basil, tomatoes and shallots over base of prepared tin and pour over eggs. Top with ricotta and parmesan. Season with salt and pepper.
