DANDELION FRITTATA
Ingredients
​
1 tbsp wild garlic butter
1/2 white onion, thinly sliced
4 rashers streaky bacon, sliced into lardons

1 bunch ground ivy
6 large free-range eggs, beaten
100g cream cheese

Method
​
-
Place a medium-sized non-stick saucepan over a medium heat and melt the butter. When bubbling, add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Sweat for 5-8 minutes until completely soft and slightly caramelised.
-
Push the onion to the side of the pan, then add the lardons and fry until golden brown.
-
Roughly chop the wild greens, reserving the dandelion flowers, and add to the pan to sweat for a minute
-
Season the beaten eggs and then pour them into the fan over the filling .
-
Using a teaspoon, dot blobs of cream cheese over the eggs and then add the dandelion flowers.
-
Melt a little more butter around the edge of the pan.
-
You can now either turn down the heat under your saucepan and place a lid over your pan so the eggs cook through, or place until your grill at 200C for 5 minutes until just set.
-
Loosen the frittata around the sides, turn out onto a plate and garnish with dandelion petals and ground ivy leaves/flowers.
