Individual pea, prosciutto and pecorino frittatas recipe:
Preheat the oven to 180C. Add the spinach to a saucepan of boiling water and
cook for 3-4 minutes until completely wilted. Drain, rinse under cold water and
squeeze out any excess water. Pat spinach dry with paper towel, the finely chop
and set aside. Heat the oil in a large frypan over medium heat. Add the onion
and leek, then cook, stirring, for 4-5 minutes or until mixture starts to
soften. Add the garlic and cook for a further 1 minutes. If necessary, add 1-2
tbs water to the pan to prevent the mixture from burning. Add the chopped
spinach, then season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper and stir
well to combine. Divide the leek mixture evenly among 6 individual cast-iron
pans or ovenproof quiche dishes. Top with strips of prosciutto, cherry tomatoes
and 3/4 cup (90g) peas. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk to combine. Add
the sour cream and whisk thoroughly. Add the milk and paprika, then season with
pinch of salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Add half the chives and
15g grated pecorino, and mix well. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the leek
filling into the pans or dishes. Scatter with remaining 1/4 cup (30g) peas,
chives and 50g pecorino, then season well with freshly ground black pepper.
Bake frittatas for 30 minutes or until egg is set and center is slightly firm
to the touch. Garnish with oregano leaves and extra grated pecorino before
serving warm or at room temperature
