    Halloumi Frittata with Red Peppers

    Halloumi frittata makes a delicious lunch or light evening meal. Full of goodness!

    So now that I work at home more often, I’ve started enjoying cooking a simple meal at lunchtime instead of having to grab a pre-packed sandwich from the nearest shop.

    A halloumi frittata is perfect for this, I switch out the vegetables with whatever I have in the fridge.

    I usually have red peppers and baby plum tomatoes in there so they are often included! Spring onions are perfect to add a bit of flavour as well.

    It only takes minutes to make and then I have my one person-sized halloumi frittata ready to eat, served with a bed of salad if I’m feeling extravagant but quite often eaten standing up at the kitchen counter (from a plate usually I promise!).

    My small omelette pan is ideal for this, it makes the perfect frittata with two eggs plus my fillings.

    I like to serve this with my mozzarella soda bread.

    But what is a frittata?

    If you like the look of this frittata/omelette/egg dish but are wondering exactly what a frittata is, then let me tell you.

    Whereas your omelette fillings are added in the centre before folding it over, with a frittata the fillings are added in with the eggs.

    It is also started off on the hob or stovetop then finished off in the oven, unlike an omelette which is cooked completely on the hob.

    Of course from the name we can also tell that a frittata is from Italy whereas an omelette is from France. The Spanish version is a tortilla or Spanish omelette, which contains potatoes.

    All of them are delicious ways to enjoy eggs! I find frittatas really easy to make as there isn’t much hands on time and not much can go wrong. Omelettes can sometimes be tricky to make and fold!

    So when I can make this in about ten minutes at home from a few simple ingredients, I feel like I’m winning because I haven’t bought something pre-packaged and its a healthy option too!

    I use the lighter reduced-fat halloumi because I am counting the calories at the moment but feel free to use normal halloumi if that’s not something you’re into.

    Ingredients

    Heres what you will need to make this recipe. Get the quantities and more recipe tips in the recipe card at the end of the post.

    • eggs – I use medium free-range eggs.
    • spring onions – I like these to add flavour and colour.
    • cherry plum tomatoes – I find these have more flavour than standard cherry tomatoes.
    • red pepper – can be swapped for another colour pepper or for a different vegetable like courgette, mushrooms, strips of carrot.
    • halloumi – I usually use the lighter halloumi.

    A great light lunch option

    This dish is just over 300 calories and really filling.

    It has just over 20 grams of protein too. It is a great lunch to have to set you up well for the day.

      4-5 spring onions, 5-6 cherry plum tomatoes, 1/2 a red pepper
    • Beat the eggs in a small bowl, season, then pour the eggs over the vegetables in the small frying pan.  Swirl the eggs around the pan and use a wooden spoon to move the eggs aside as they set so that it cooks through.

    • Allow to cook for a few minutes and in the meantime preheat your grill (broiler) to medium heat. 
    • Add the sliced halloumi on top of the frittata and then place the frying pan (make sure you are using an ovenproof one) under the grill to brown the top and cook through. Grill for 3-4 minutes, checking to make sure it doesn’t burn or brown too quickly.
      35 g lighter halloumi (reduced fat)
    • Remove the frying pan from the oven using an oven glove. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes then use a spatula or wooden spoon to loosen the edges and slide the frittata onto a plate to serve.

      Aren’t egg dishes the most convenient thing ever when you have hangry children? My omelettes are often quite unusual looking so frittatas are definitely the order of the day. I bet the peppers add a wonderful sweetness.

      Love frittata! And anything with halloumi is a win. I agree though, it’s great to have a light meal if you’re working from home. Way better than a meal deal…
