Squashed Frittata

Squashed Frittata

It’s already the end of the week again and I have been looking forward to the weekend since Monday! It’s one of my best friend’s wedding down in the New Forest so I have my fingers and toes crossed that the sun shines for her. I love weddings and can’t believe that my husband and I have now been married almost 5 months ….. time flies!
I’ve been trying not to spend too much money on lunches this week. Working in Mayfair is not very purse friendly and spending £10 on a bog standard salad’s simply ludicrous.

As you know I love eggs and butternut squash, so what better way to enjoy them both than to combine them in a flavourful frittata. Frittatas one of those dishes that you can literally put almost anything into that you have in your fridge / store cupboard, it’s a great one for leftovers and combines delicious + nutritious in one bite. It’s quick to make, easy to transport and perfect for lunch with some avocado or salad.
