Frugal Frittata - inspired by Slimming World

I was working from home one day recently and wanted to make myself a healthy "low Syn" (Slimming World) lunch. This idea was partly inspired by the Spanish tortilla my boyfriend's mum makes, partly inspired by a recipe on the Slimming World website and partly inspired by things I needed to use up in my fridge - some leftover potato and a red pepper that had seen better days in particular! Firstly I roughly chopped the potato, pepper and some red onion, and added to them in the frying pan in reverse order.
 Frying everything together - with some low cal spray oil
 Beat two eggs and pour over the top, and continue to cook
 Turn upside down on a plate to serve. A nice, filling, Syn-free lunch!

I am entering this in Frugal Food Fridays, as the ingredients are cheap and I was using up leftovers in my fridge. This month Frugal Food Fridays is hosted by Tales of Pigling Bland

    1. It was yummy! I think I might share more recipes for meals I've cooked rather than just cakes I've baked. For one thing, doing Slimming World means I shouldn't be baking as much!

  3. Looks lovely. I often use up leftover vegetables and potatoes to make things like this.

  4. I did the same too. Better make the most of it then throwing them away. Moreover they taste great with eggs too! :)
