Potato-Chip Frittatas

These individual potato crisp frittatas offer a clever twist on a classic egg dish, combining a soft, savoury centre with a surprising salty crunch. By using colourful garden vegetables like leeks and carrots, these mini muffins provide a nutrient-rich base that is elevated by the smoky notes of melted cheese and the golden finish of crumbled crisps. They are as versatile as they are delicious, whether you serve them warm for a light lunch or at room temperature as a clever picnic snack.

As a protein-packed vegetarian option, this recipe is ideal for batch cooking and meal preparation. The small portions make them a brilliant choice for children's lunchboxes or as a gluten-free alternative to traditional savouries. Pair them with a crisp green salad or some fresh cherry tomatoes for a balanced mid-week meal that feels both comforting and modern.

How to make Potato-Chip Frittatas

  1. Preheat oven to 163°C.
