It’s National Vegetarian Week here in the UK so I will be sharing a couple of veggie focused recipes with you this week. Kicking off with this spinach frittata with tomato and goat’s cheese . This is a really quick meal to prepare, perfect for a tasty weeknight supper, and it’s even quicker if you have leftover potatoes. With just a few simple ingredients you can have a lovely satisfying meal on the table in under 40 minutes. Even the meat eaters in your life will love this one.
This spinach frittata is a real clear out your fridge kind of recipe. You could swap the spinach for kale or the goat’s cheese for feta and use whichever tomatoes you have handy. I used a hard goat’s cheese for this and it gave it a lovely flavour and texture, but soft goat’s cheese would work too. You can serve this spinach frittata hot or cold, it will keep for up to two days once refrigerated as soon as it is cool. I serve this with a nice green salad for a quick supper, but it is also great for picnics and packed lunches.
To celebrate National Vegetarian Week, Cambridge Edition have featured a selection of my favourite meat free recipes in this month’s edition. I’m so thrilled to see my recipes in print, all lovely and glossy, so much thanks to the lovely folk there for featuring me. If you live in Cambridge you can pick up a copy at various Cambridge stores and venues, you can also view it online here. I have quite a few vegetarian or meat free recipes on this blog, we are not vegetarian but I tend to make a lot of veggie focused meals for my family. I guess it comes from being a vegetarian years ago and I just like to cook vegetarian food. If you’d like to see more of my meat free recipe you can find them here.

Congrats on the feature. Clear-out-the-fridge recipes are so helpful, and this one seems delish! I love the idea of having the left-overs for lunch.
Thank you so much Katie x Leftovers are the best 😉
What size skillet did you use?
Hi Kim, I used a 24cm, 9 and a half inches cast iron skillet 😉
Just made this after searching goat cheese and spinach to use up stuff in the fridge.
Didn’t have potatoes; used some left over pasta for the starch – worked fine.
Added a bit of gruyere.
Good stuff
Congrats on being featured in Cambridge Edition! Empty-the-fridge frittatas are my all-time fave, both because they’re a great way to use up those leftover veggies languishing in my fridge AND they’re super-healthy. This offering will make a great dinner! I love using up leftover frittata in a breakfast sandwich. YUM: I’m fantasizing about it right now.
Thank you so much Michelle x Totally agree with you, they are so good for using up those leftovers 😉
Ooh we love frittata! And this version looks so beautiful! I’ll try to remember to make a frittata the next time we have leftover boiled potatoes – I am forever trying to find ways to use them up.
Thank you so much Thanh x
Wow.. the pictures are lovely. Felt like eating it from here itself.
Lovely recipe.
Thank you so much Raksha 🙂
Oh my! That’s one tasty and so colourful fritatta. It makes a lovely breakfast or brunch, and surely a very healthy one. Even my fussy-eayer toddler would love it.
Thank you so much Daniela, my daughter loved it 😉
My husband and I loved this! Delicious! I didn’t have goat cheese so used feta instead and extra olive oil because I don’t have a cast iron skillet and was afraid it might stick on the bottom. Planning to make your beet and orange salad tonight!
Hi Pat, I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I think a well-seasoned cast iron skillet should be ok but I know what it’s like if they stick, I’ve had to scrape a few pans and it’s not fun 😉 I hope you enjoyed the beetroot and orange salad Xx
