Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in salted water for 5 mins until just tender. Meanwhile, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Mix the garlic and eggs together with some seasoning, then drain the potatoes and stir into the egg.
  2. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan, then tip in the egg and potato mixture. Cook over a low heat for 5 mins or until two-thirds of the frittata is set, then cook in the oven for 10-15 mins until cooked through.
  3. Arrange the goat's cheese round the edge of the frittata and drizzle with the pesto. Top with rocket and serve with a tomato & basil salad, if you like.

    I've made this twice since it was in the April magazine and it's a real hit in our house! No tweaks or modifications to the recipe were needed. Delicious and easy to make, we highly recommend it!

    This is just beautiful. Agree as above, no adjustments needed. I served this with a warm chorizo, baby plum tomato, red pepper and rocket salad, cooked in a dash of red wine vinegar. This will quickly become a regular. NOM.

    @ Chanonica Since when is it not vegeterian? It's not vegan due to cheese content but it has no meat in it, hence, vegeterian.

    I've not made this recipe yet but it looks delicious. Tati's comment is not entirely correct. The kind of pesto that you can buy in jars from the supermarket is definitely NOT vegetarian as it contains parmesan. Parmesan is a cheese which is made with animal rennet. If you are vegetarian and want to make this recipe I would suggest making a homemade pesto and replacing the parmesan with a vegetarian alternative hard cheese.

    Really nice although when I make it again I'll definitely add a fried white onion to the egg & potato mixture, more like a Spanish omelette as felt that was missing.

    I made this for the first time last but substituted goats cheese for feta and added some sundried tomatoes to the mixture before cooking. Delicious!

    This was nice but I think it could of done without the pesto, found it a bit overpowering with the goats cheese as well.

    Thank goodness for the goats cheese, without this, this would have been absolutely tasteless. Not for us. Will not be trying this one again.
