Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams pumpkin (peeled and diced into small cubes)
- 6 large eggs
- 60 ml heavy cream
- 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 50 grams feta cheese (crumbled, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Heat olive oil in an oven-safe, non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the diced pumpkin and thyme leaves to the skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pumpkin is tender but not falling apart.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Once the pumpkin is cooked, spread it evenly across the skillet. Pour the egg mixture over the pumpkin and gently shake the pan to make sure the mixture is evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the feta cheese (if using) and parsley over the top.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the frittata is set in the center and lightly golden.
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the frittata cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious Pumpkin Frittata!
