Ingredients
approx. 4–6 mini frittatas
- 5 mushrooms (chopped)
- 2 large handfuls of spinach
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons of plain flour
- A little oil for cooking
Method
- Lightly grill or fry the mushrooms until soft.
- Add the spinach to the pan and let it wilt gently on top of the mushrooms.
- Transfer everything to a blender, add the egg and flour, and blitz until smooth (or leave it a little chunky if your baby is ready for more texture).
- Heat a little oil in a frying pan and spoon in small dollops of the mixture—cook on a medium heat until golden on both sides.
- Let them cool slightly before serving.
Can You Freeze Baby Frittatas?

Ingredient Swaps & Add-Ins
