Our bubble and squeak frittata recipe makes a delicious brunch in three simple steps and is perfect for using up leftover cooked vegetables.
Our bubble and squeak frittata is infused with Shichimi Togarashi, one of our favorite seasonings. It’s a Japanese spice mix containing chilli, seeds (usually sesame), and seaweed. It’s quite spicy so can be omitted if you’re not a fan of hot food. This recipe serves four but you can be flexible with quantities and work with the vegetables and leftovers you have.

- 10g unsalted butter
- 600g leftover cooked veg such as potatoes, sprouts, parsnips carrots, cut into bite sized pieces
- 75g cooked whole chestnuts, crumbled

Top tips for making bubble and squeak frittata:
- Ensure the pan you are using is suitable for use on the hob and under the grill
- Use fresh and dried herbs or chillis to inject extra flavour into your frittata.
- If you're a meat-eater try mixing in cooked bacon, chorizo, or ham with the cooked vegetables
- You can sprinkle the frittata with cheese if liked, cheddar is a great versatile option but you can experiment with your favourites and match them to the vegetables you are using
