Butternut Squash and Courgette Mini Frittatas
Butternut Squash and Courgette Mini Frittatas
Little egg frittatas packed with roasted butternut squash, courgette, and sage butter - perfect for using the residual heat after a pizza session. The squash roasts first, then everything gets mixed with eggs and baked in a muffin tin. They are brilliant warm from the oven, but they also travel well and taste just as good cold the next day in a lunchbox.
Ingredients
- 1 butternut squash, peeled and diced into small cubes
- 1 courgette, diced into small cubes
- 20g fresh sage, finely chopped
- 50g butter
- 5 eggs
- 50ml milk
- Salt and pepper
- Extra butter for greasing
Method
- Let your pizza oven cool to a moderate heat - after a pizza session, shift the flames to the back and let it cool naturally without adding wood.
- Place the diced butternut squash in an ovenproof dish and roast for 30 minutes until tender.
- Add the butter and chopped sage to the squash, stirring until the butter melts and coats everything. Add the diced courgette and roast for another 5 minutes.
- While the vegetables roast, whisk the eggs and milk together. Season with salt and pepper.
- Butter a muffin tin thoroughly. Spoon a tablespoon of the roasted vegetable mixture into each cavity.
- Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables, filling each cavity about three-quarters full.
- Bake for about 20 minutes until set and golden on top. Let them cool briefly before turning out.
Cedar Tip
These are a brilliant way to use the dying heat of your oven after a pizza session - the squash roasts while the oven cools, and the frittatas bake at the lower temperature that follows. Butter the muffin tin generously or they will stick. They freeze well too.
