Method

  1. 01
    Heat the oven to 350°F fan / 400°F conventional (180°C fan / 200°C conventional).
  2. 02
    Line a 9x9 inch baking tin with baking paper, or grease an ovenproof skillet.
  3. 03
    Whisk the eggs with salt and pepper in a large bowl. Stir in most of the spring onions, keeping some back for the top.
  4. 04
    Place the prawns in the baking dish and pour the egg mixture over them.
  5. 05
    Sprinkle the grated cheddar evenly over the top.
  6. 06
    Bake for 15 minutes, or until the frittata is just set in the center.
  7. 07
    Top with the reserved spring onions and a drizzle of chilli crisp oil, if using.
Good to know
1

Take it out when the center is just set. It keeps cooking a little from its own heat, so it stays soft and fluffy instead of rubbery.

2

Pat the prawns dry before adding them, so they don't make the frittata watery.

3

Frozen cooked prawns work well. Thaw them first and pat them dry.

4

For meal prep, cut it into 4 squares and keep them in the fridge for up to 3 days. Eat cold or warm briefly in the microwave.

5

Chilli crisp is optional. A pinch of chili flakes or a little hot sauce works too.

Questions

Before you start

Can I use raw prawns?

Yes. Use small raw prawns and give it a few extra minutes in the oven, until the prawns are pink and the egg is set.

Can I use a different cheese?

Yes. Mozzarella makes it milder and stretchier, parmesan makes it sharper. Cheddar gives the best golden top.

Can I make it in a skillet?

Yes. Use an ovenproof skillet, greased well, and bake it the same way.
