SMOKED TROUT AND OLIVE FRITTATA

(Serves 4 for a delicious breakfast of light supper)

8          free range eggs

80 ml   milk

Salt and black pepper to taste

40 ml extra virgin  olive oil

1          medium onion, sliced and sautéed in a bit of olive oil until cooked and caramelised

250 ml grated cheddar cheese

180 g   flaked hot-smoked trout

15        olives, pips removed and halved

METHOD

  • Preheat oven to 180 ˚C
  • Add the olive oil to a large greased or non-stick frying pan and heat slightly
  • Beat together the eggs, milk and the salt and pepper
  • Pour the egg mixture into the frying pan (heat must be low), place lid on and cook for a few minutes (about 4 minutes)
  • Remove the lid and sprinkle the cheese, onion, smoked trout and olives over the half-cooked egg.
  • Place the pan into the oven (cover the handle with a wet cloth or aluminium foil to prevent it from burning or scorching if it’s not oven-proof)
