Instructions
- Mist a 23cm (9inch) non-stick frying pan with cooking spray. Cook the leeks, spring onions and garlic over medium-low heat for 5 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach, dill and parsley and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
- Beat the eggs and ⅔ of the cottage cheese in a large bowl. Add the onion granules and season generously with salt and pepper. Mix together.
- Clean the frying pan and mist with oil. Scatter about half of the leek / spinach mixture on the pan and then add a few strips of smoked salmon.
- Spoon some of the beaten egg over the top and shake the pan so the egg covers all the ingredients.
- Start cooking the frittata over low heat and then layer the remaining vegetables and salmon over the top.
- Add the rest of the egg and top with spoonfuls of the reserved cottage cheese. Season with pepper and scatter with some dill fronds. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until the frittata is almost set with a wobble in the middle.
- Place under a medium-hot broiler (grill) and cook for 6-7 minutes or until the frittata is set and golden brown.
