Ingredients
- 1 lb pumpkin 450 g, Note 1
- 1 tablespoon olive oil Note 2
- ½ teaspoon paprika powder
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 large garlic cloves
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- Lots of freshly ground black pepper
- 8 large eggs Note 3
- ¼ cup full-fat milk single or heavy cream, 2 fl.oz/ 60 ml
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- black pepper
- 3.5 oz feta scant 1 cup when crumbled / 100 g
- ⅔ cup grated cheddar 2.5 oz/ 75 g
- 6 thin green onions
Instructions
In the skillet:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare pumpkin. Hokkaido doesn't need to be peeled, any other sort does. Cut into small cubes.
- Roast: Place in the skillet, add olive oil, paprika, thyme, grated garlic cloves, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat. Roast for about 20 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft.
- Whisk the eggs and the milk/cream in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, crumbled feta, and grated Cheddar. Mix well.
- Thinly slice the green onions and set aside.
- Combine: Remove the skillet from the oven. Scatter the onions on top of the pumpkin cubes. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Use a wooden spoon to evenly distribute the vegetable into the pan.
- Bake: Return to the oven and bake for further 15 minutes or until the eggs are puffed and set and only slightly jiggly and shiny in the middle, they will continue cooking due to the residual heat after you have removed them from the oven.
Cup of Yum
In a baking dish:
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/ 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Roast the seasoned pumpkin cubes until soft. Let cool for a few minutes and transfer to a well-buttered baking dish (about 8x12-inches/ 20x30 cm large).
- Bake: Add the egg-mixture, distribute the veggies evenly in the dish, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the eggs are puffed and set and only slightly jiggly and shiny in the middle.
Notes
- I use Hokkaido (red Kuri squash) almost all the time. It has an intense flavor and it doesn't need to be peeled.
- If you bake the frittata in a baking dish (roughly 8x12-inches/ 20x30 cm large), you will also need some butter to grease the dish well.
- If your skillet is smaller (10 inches/ 25 cm), you can make the frittata with 6 eggs, 3 cups cubed pumpkin, and slightly less milk, cheese, and spring onions.
