Ingredients:

1 tbsp. of olive oil;

½ small leek thinly sliced;

2 small cauliflower florets, torn into smaller florets;

4 sliced white mushrooms;

2 eggs and 2 egg whites lightly beaten with 1 tbsp of water;

2 tsp. dried basil;

½ tsp. fresh rosemary, finely chopped;

2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese;

30g (1 oz.) unsalted butter;

Salt and pepper to taste.

How to Cook a Frittata

Preheat the grill.
Heat the oil in a medium non stick pan over a medium heat, before adding the leek and cauliflower to the pan. Cook for 5 min until the leek is tender and slightly crisp, then add the mushrooms and cook for a few min till the mushrooms are golden from both sites. Empty all on to a plate and set aside. Clean the frying pan.
In a jug, combine the eggs with the basil and rosemary.
Preheat the frying pan again with the butter over a low heat, pour the egg-herb mixture into the frying pan. When the eggs are set from the bottom in approx. 1 min, add the leek, mushrooms and cauliflower and cover it with a lid and continue cooking for 5-6 min.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the top, lightly pressing the cheese with a spatula into the egg mixture.
Take the frying pan from the heat and place it under the preheated grill, continue cooking for another minute till the top is set and golden.
To remove the frittata, use the spatula to loosen the edges, then tip the frying pan to one side and slide the frittata onto the serving plate, cut into wedges.
Add more salt if needed and pepper to taste and serve it on a warm plate.
