Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pumpkin Note 2
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon paprika powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • 2 large garlic cloves
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • lots of freshly ground black pepper
  • 8 large eggs
  • ¼ cup full-fat milk single or heavy cream
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • black pepper
  • 3.5 oz feta scant 1 cup when crumbled
  • cup grated Cheddar
  • 6 thin green onions

Instructions

In the skillet:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F/ 200°C.
  • Prepare the pumpkin. Hokkaido doesn't need to be peeled; any other sort does. Cut into small cubes.
    1 lb pumpkin
  • Roast: Place in the skillet, add olive oil, paprika, thyme, grated garlic cloves, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat. Roast for about 20 minutes or until the pumpkin is soft.
    1 tablespoon olive oil + ½ teaspoon paprika powder + ½ teaspoon dried thyme + 2 large garlic cloves + ½ teaspoon fine sea salt + lots of freshly ground black pepper
  • Whisk the eggs and the milk/cream in a large bowl. Add salt, pepper, crumbled feta, and grated Cheddar. Mix well.
    8 large eggs + ¼ cup full-fat milk + ½ teaspoon fine sea salt + black pepper + 3.5 oz feta + ⅔ cup grated Cheddar
  • Thinly slice the green onions and set aside.
    6 thin green onions
  • Combine: Remove the skillet from the oven. Scatter the onions on top of the pumpkin cubes. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the vegetables. Use a wooden spoon to evenly distribute the vegetable into the pan.
  • Bake: Return to the oven and bake for further 15 minutes or until the eggs are puffed and set and only slightly jiggly and shiny in the middle, they will continue cooking due to the residual heat after you have removed them from the oven.

Notes

  1. If your skillet is smaller (10 inches/ 25 cm), you can make the frittata with 6 eggs, 3 cups of cubed pumpkin, and slightly less milk, cheese, and spring onions.
  2. I use Hokkaido (red Kuri squash) almost all the time. It has an intense flavor, and it doesn't need to be peeled.
