Cauliflower and Sweet Potato Frittata

I made this today as I had a friend round for lunch and it tasted amazing! Really good way to use up left over veggies, you could put almost anything in it but I would include the cauliflower as it does give it body so you can cut it into slices. The cumin adds a bit of warmth to it and eggs provide a powerhouse of nutrients including good quality protein, Vitamins B2, B12, vitamin A, vitamin D, selenium and iodine. An inexpensive way to get so many nutrients in one meal. I added some greek feta cheese on top but if you don't include dairy in your diet then leave this out.

Eggs are one of the most nutritious foods money can buy - they are a natural source of many nutrients including high quality protein, vitamins and minerals. A medium egg contains less than 70 calories.
Eggs are naturally rich in vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin B12, vitamin D, selenium and iodine. They also contain vitamin A and a number of other B vitamins including folate, biotin, pantothenic acid and choline, and essential minerals and trace elements, including phosphorus.

You will need:

6 free range (preferably organic) eggs
1 small cauliflower cut into florets
1 small sweet potato, cubed
4 large salad onions, chopped small
1 tsp toasted cumin seed, lightly crushed
1 tsp coconut oil
50g feta cheese, chopped (optional)
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steam the cauliflower and sweet potato for 10 mins or until tender

Beat the eggs then stir in the cumin, salad onions and vegetables. Season to taste.

Heat the coconut oil in a 20cm (8 inch) frying pan and pour in the egg mixture. Cook on the lowest heat for 12 minutes until almost cooked and then scatter on the cheese.

Preheat the grill to medium and cook the top of the frittata for 4-5 minutes until golden and completely cooked all the way through.

Slip the frittata on to a board, cut into wedges and serve with a large salad.

This would make a great portable snack to take to work for breakfast/lunch as it is just as tasty cold.
