4 eggs
1 tbsp milk
40g feta cheese
1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 clove garlic, crushed
200g sweet potato, cubed and microwaved until soft
1 leek, white part only, finely chopped
1 cup baby spinach, shredded
2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
Salt and pepper
Green salad and/or rye or sourdough toast to serve.

What to do

Combine the eggs, milk and feta in a bowl and whisk together. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

Heat the oil in a small frying pan. Add the leek and garlic and saute until the leek becomes soft. About 2 minutes. Add the sweet potato and cook for a further 2 minutes, tossing regularly.

Add the spinach and herbs and stir until they wilt down, about 1-2 minutes.

Pour over the egg mixture and cook over low heat until the egg mixture is almost cooked through. To finish off and slightly brown the top of the frittata, place under a hot grill for 2-3 minutes.

Serve with a garden salad and/or 1-2 slices of grainy or rye toast. Enjoy!
