Time 50m

Yield Serves 12, as a snack or canapé

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tbsp olive oil , plus extra for greasing
1 large butternut squash (about 1.4kg) peeled, ends trimmed, halved widthways and spiralized into thin noodles
1 red onion , ends trimmed, peeled and spiralized into flat noodles
1 red chilli , finely chopped and deseeded, if you like
6 large eggs
4 sprigs thyme , leaves picked
100g goat's cheese , broken into pieces

Steps:

  • Heat oven to180C/160Cfan/gas 4. Lightly oil 12 holes of a muffin tin.
  • Pull apart any squash spirals that are still stuck together and cut any long spirals of squash in half. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat then add the spiralized squash and red onion. Cook, stirring occasionally for 3 mins until the vegetables have softened slightly. Stir in the red chilli, fry for a further min then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Beat the eggs in a large jug or bowl and season with salt and a generous grind of black pepper. Stir in the butternut squash mixture along with the thyme leaves and goat's cheese.
  • Divide the mixture between each muffin tin, making sure each hole gets an equal amount of filling, then bake in the oven for 15-18 mins or until just set. Gently lift the fritattas out of the tin with a palette or cutlery knife.
