Thyme & Feta Frittata

An easy, foolproof, recipe for brunch or a tapas style canapé. If you have the patience, let it cool down so it becomes lovely and moist. It kept Big G happy this morning as a breakfast alternative but the danger is you’ll spend the rest of the day going back to it, taking off little slices. Before you know it, you’re left with a plate of crumbs.

Use any combination of vegetables, cheeses and herbs to vary your dish. Pea and mint is beautiful, goats cheese works well… as long as you have the potato and egg base you can throw in anything.
