spring time no more



Oh my! how long was i gone for? so many things happen between my last post and this.
well, to cut long story short, I've moved, twice in the past 6 months, did some travelling, and still, in the process of renovating my new pad. and before i can slow down and eat a piece of cake, winter came knocking! however, last weekend we were still blessed with Sydney glorious sunshine, and i wonder how long before the dark and depressing winter will totally took over? so i took some time off my crazy routine and bake a spring frittata. it's simple, easy and took me no time at all!

Spring Frittata
Ingredients:
  • 5 big baking potatoes. ( i use desiree )
  • 8 eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 150g smoke salmon
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 big empty stomach !!
  1. boiled potatoes in a big pot of slightly salted water
  2. whisk the eggs and milk together.
  3. throw in 1/2 cup of the cheese, all the peas, and season well with salt and pepper.
  4. when the potatoes are ready, sliced them up thinly.
  5. lightly grease a 20cm non-stick cake pan. ( do not use the removable base one!! )
  6. lay 1/3 of the potato slices on the base of the cake pan, pour half of the egg/milk/salmon mixture, and lay another third of the potatoes, followed by the egg/milk thingy, finished off with the last third of potato slices.
  7. scatter the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese on top.
  8. bake in pre-heated 160 degree oven ( fan force ), for about 50 minutes, or until it's golden brown.
  9. wait for it to cool down 70 percent before cutting them into slices and serve them warm or cold.



it was the first thing that i bake with my new oven, in my new kitchen. and i enjoy it, with my new mini herb "potted"garden, under the fabulous weather! Yum!!
