Method

  • step 1

    Heat the grill to medium. Heat the oil in a medium non-stick frying pan, then add the onion, squash and sage. Fry over a medium high heat until soft and golden. This should take around 10 mins.

  • step 2

    In a bowl, mix together the eggs and the cheese. Season, then pour over the cooked squash and onion mix. Leave for 5 mins on a low heat, moving the mix around a little while it starts to set.

  • step 3

    Once the frittata is set, but still a little wobbly on top, flash it under the grill to set. Allow to rest for a few mins, then turn out onto a plate or cut into wedges straight from the pan.

question

Can anyone recommend a replacement for the squash in this recipe, please?

Hi, thanks for your question. You could use sweet potato instead or, if you don't like the sweetness, then you could use courgettes. We hope this helps, BBC Good Food Team.

The squash simply takes a lot longer than 10 mins. So ended up with squash that was still a bit hard after 20+ minutes, burnt onion and sage. Nice idea, poor recipe. Would recommend steaming/boiling squash first.

Lovely vegetarian recipe. I prefer to roast the butternut squash but it’s a really easy tasty dish and good cold too.

Have made this several times - great picnic food to eat with one hand. Really tasty and really easy, and also works well with dried sage. Must try some variants on the recipe to mix it up a little!

Used feta rather than gruyere, which worked really well. Probably the nicest frittata I've ever made.
