A healthy and delicious pumpkin frittata which is nutritious, vegetarian and full of flavour.

Ingredients

  • 4 organic free-range eggs (large)
  • 1/2 large organic green pepper cut in small pieces
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 tsp ground paprika
  • 1/2 tsp herbes de Provence
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • black pepper to taste (optional)
  • 3/4 cup baked pumpkin puréed (simply cut the pumpkin in chunks and bake in oven at 375F for an hour or so)
  • 12 organic cherry tomatoes cut in half

Instructions

  1. In a medium-size mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with all the spices and the mustard.
  2. Add the pieces of green pepper and the puréed pumpkin, and mix really well.
  3. Distribute the egg mixture in the muffin pan (I used muffin liners), either 10-12 regular size or 20-24 mini muffins.
  4. Add half of a cherry tomato on top of each.
  5. Bake in a 375F oven for 15-20 minutes for the mini, or about 22-27 minutes for the regular size.
